Captainhood is one those things I just don't feel I have enough information on to have much of a preference.
We have such little idea of what goes on with the team.
Lucic and Lindholm are other names to consider.
Lucic would be perfect, but his play might decline at pretty much any time, and it would be odd to healthy scratch a captain.
Lindholm seems to be well-liked, but he also seems to be very easy going. He's one of the few consistent players on the team.
Honestly, based on interactions with the media, Johnny seems like more of a captain than Monahan does. If Johnny were to sign a long team friendly deal with the team, it would show how much he cares.
But again, we barely know what goes on.
If Tkachuk was that committed to the team, why did he make himself a UFA by the age of 25? Money? Well high cap hits don't help the team.
He would be a good A, but I'm not sure about C.
I'd be fine with Backlund. How many Scurfield Humanitarian awards has he won? Like 24?
