Hope it's Huberdeau or Kadri. Would love some kind of trade announcement though, still 1 piece away IMO.

Yeah, I look at that top-6 and something definitely feels missing. It's like the reverse of the last few years, where we were a tad thin at C, and sound at the wings- now it feels like we're deep at C, and thin on the wings. Toffoli shouldn't be a question mark, but to me he is. Is Dube a bonafide top-6 winger, or more effective on the 3rd line? I have to believe there's lines in the water for another winger.

It would seem natural that a center gets the "C", given that the position is more important, and a more responsible position....

I don’t think they’re announcing a captain this early in the season. But if they are and it’s Sutters choice, I think he goes with Kadri.

The background wall paper is black, which isn't on the home or away jerseys. My guess is it's a black 3rd jersey announcement.

A jersey or leadership announcement is not something that would have most worried about missing. There must be something bigger than that on the table.

It sounds like it's going to be captains announced today. Backlund gets the C, and a home/road rotation of the As. A couple of the new guys might have an A

After that sounds like 2 jerseys will be revealed

Ya, trades are never teased in this manner. Internal club business.

That would be a pretty big letdown after those tweets. Flames just had their best season in years and did it without a captain. The whole letter thing is irrelevant IMO. All window dressing.

They likely just go with alternate captains and show off almost identical to last reverse retro jerseys.

Wow. Totally see Kadri differently. Love the player and glad we have him. But he does not seem like a Captain at all. Plays on the edge.

A calm, experienced, accomplished captain would be awesome to keep him dialed in without going on tilt.

Agree. The same went for Tkachuk. Was never going to happen.

What about the table they had set up that was talked about earlier? You just don't set up a table and walk away. Thats poor...uh....table etiquette?

It would be hilarious if we find out now that the table setup is standard.

Glad he acknowledged this, even if it’s pretty obvious.
