I don't expect that the Seattle team is now falling apart with wide eyed rookies shocked becuase their captain was traded. However, Seattle didn't have to name a capitan, the Flames haven't, so for them to do that IMO still means they think he was going to be the foundation they build up, for more than 1 year.
Doesn't the contrast between Calgary and Seattle amply demonstrate just how meaningless a letter can be?
