While true, at least in the NHL level most captains are pretty bulletproof currently. They're among the biggest stars on the team with multi-year guaranteed contracts and the fan base largely behind them. Even in a worst case scenario they'd still have a career somewhere else.
I mean, if there had been a word against word situation between Peters and Gio, it's obvious Peters would have lost.
