To me, that isn't captain material. You want your captain being the guy that will do anything on the ice to help.
Like I said, he looked like he was starting to get it really late in the season, but it was too little too late.

Led the team in 5v5 points the last 20 games of the season (13) and his +10 goal differential at 5v5 (20 GF - 10 GA) was also the best on the team.
He didn't get much credit for it but when the season was on the line down the stretch he's the one that was their best player IMO (Him and Weegar TBH).
I'd be fine with either Weegar or him as captain. I personally lean towards Weegar a little bit though.
I think it might be Andersson though...just based on his own personal experience with Huska from their time in the AHL.
