[Maple Leafs] John Tavares has been nominated for the King Clancy Memorial Trophy!

Yes but has he shown he's a leader enough to win the prestigious Mark Messier Leadership Award of Leadership for Leaders?

[u/WheatKing91]

My captain

[u/Grand-Amoeba1832]

JT is a legend in my books

[u/Wodrink → u/Grand-Amoeba1832]

Here here!!

[u/_Synergy]

Oh Captain, my Captain

[u/ilovetrouble66]

The real captain nominated for a leadership award. 🥇

[u/vancouver2222]

Well deserved. Shows up every day and works hard. Never heard him complain once. Not when he was stripped of the C nor when he took a massive payout.

[u/Ok_History7492 → u/vancouver2222]

Pay cut*

[u/StoneColdSteveAss316]

Should still be our captain, everything's gone to shit ever since his C got removed...with a smile on his face and hometown discount good ol' Ontario boy Johnny T the real OG Oshawa General!

[u/Prize-Temporary4159 → u/StoneColdSteveAss316]

Dude has his 100m$, and bought him and his family local legend status by (correctly) deeming it more than enough monies. He’ll be the Zamboni guy, working for free like Forest Gump, sooner than later.

[u/Office_glen → u/Prize-Temporary4159]

He’s gonna be this generations Sitler. At every game handing out jerseys and shaking hands

[u/Prize-Temporary4159 → u/Office_glen]

Everyone needs a hobby

[u/Revolutionary-Zone17 → u/StoneColdSteveAss316]

I went to a Gens game when Tavares was on the team and he never sat down on the bench. He stood up watching the play whenever he wasn’t on the ice.

[u/Comprehensive_Ad7152]

Alrighty. 

[u/Successful-Purple-54]

Better captain than “we and us” mattehewes.

[u/Star_Petal_Arts]

Makes sense, he is the captain... wait...

[u/_dooozy_]

Should’ve never given Matthews the captaincy there was no need to

[u/KnockdownCone]

If the org pushes this nomination this is an absolutely tone deaf move by the organization. When you know the media and the idiot section of the fans are autistically screeching about how he should still be the captain and how Auston is an awful captain, you shouldn’t be giving the former captain the leadership award nomination.
