As far as leadership and stability is concerned, I get the impression that Sutter himself is fulfilling many of the captain roles. Certainly more that any other coach in recent memory. He wanted a significant mentality change in the team, and unfortunately moving on from Gio as the guiding star was a necessary part of that. I imagine that continuing on without a captain is part of his pruning/reshaping process. Finally, along the lines of the pressers when Gio came back to Calgary, all the players commented on how they are working ‘by committee’. Almost as if they all feel a greater individual responsibility now

Edit: GullFoss already said the same thing that I’m thinking, on the last page, much more succinctly
