I think Sutter played himself a bit with the captaincy thing. The first season was understandable. But by trying to down play the significance of having a C or a not, sort of made it inevitably a bigger deal than it needs to be when they do name one. He’s put more importance on it than necessary. Should have just given it to Backlund off the bat. Who cares if he only has it for 2 seasons? He’s still one the teams best players and I see him sticking long term regardless.
