Of course something super simple was turned into a process by Treliving.

Why not just wait one more season?

Because then it wouldn't be a process.

I get the headline but I think it’s a non story. Would I name him? Personally, no. Look at the rumor mill for years where the team has been divided between Marner and Matthews, then everyone else and that tells me he’s probably fairly immature. But Treliving has never been the smart one about picking character.

I gotta tell ya...I love the way Matthews works. That guy is Machiavellian.

What a master of the process

Tavares' play has dropped so much though. Matthews is the face of the franchise.

Two thoughts of mind. Are you loyal to the guy who is captain, or do you transition to the true face of the franchise. No correct answer.
Colorado keeping Landeskog as captain is kinda silly at this point.

Whoever's captain, they won't make it past Boston or Tampa in round 1 next year. It is known.

As to that, I keep an open mind.
It will be most amusing if the Leafs finally manage to draw a different opponent – and lose to Buffalo in round 1.

I am sceptical that Buffalo squad finishes higher than a wild card at best, but that would, indeed, be hilarious.

Because Tavares will probably re-sign with the Leafs at a discount so with Matthews entering year one of his latest deal it's probably the right time.

LA took the C away from Brown after they had their cups.

Presumably they should wait to see if he can play before they strip the captaincy away. The only reason they would do so is if he can't play.
This is not a Taveras situation.

Hasn't it been like a season and a half now? Very unlikely he gets back at all.
