I just want someone who has grown up in the organization, plays with some passion, and wants to be here. Andersson checks all the boxes.
That's fair.

I'm not saying that the Captain shouldn't have passion, in fact they should.

Just sometimes think the Captain needs to have the ability to de-escalate a situation if that is what is best for the team in that moment.

Not having a Captain on a team is no good. It hurt the Flames last year.

Also, I just didn't like how that post was worded.
