That's looking foolish now.

It's been really cool seeing him mature this year. The on-ice transformation under Darryl is obvious, but I see it off the ice too. Him wearing the A (though Darryl I think referred to letters as "decoration") is a really good sign of how he has grown into a real leader. And you see it in his post-game interviews. He still has that slightly goofy "aw shucks" quality but he's grown up a ton.
Darryl gets credit for sure, but people don't improve if they aren't willing to put in the work themselves.
