While I do agree this is indeed the case, just a cautionary tale not to read too much into exact words from Huberdeau, whose English is good but not great for literal translation.

Huberdeau felt the love. His comments and presence make Calgary a preferred destination again on the trade and free agent market. And this Johnny is ready to get down to business.

His articles for many years were very fanboyish and mostly fluff. He definitely took on the pessimist/controversy schtick to carve out a niche.

Not a fan, but he’s more tolerable than Steve Simmons (I guess that’s setting a pretty low bar).

What was weird about it? Because I can't think of how the absence of a designated player to wear the letter "C" on his jersey had any perceptible impact on what viewers and fans saw during games.

It may not have made any difference but it was unusual, uncommon,....weird.

Rangers haven't had a captain since 2018, doesn't seem to do them any harm. Sabres and Coyotes also rolled without one last season. It's a bit unusual, but I don't really see a problem with it.
