The complexion of this team could be totally different come September - so no need to make decisions now.

Tanev was almost the same player while playing through the injury. I’m confident he’ll be fine.
I think they held off giving out captain because Gaudreau or Tkachuk is the front runner, though. I assume they want to be sure they have the captain locked up long term before handing out the letter.
