When’s the last time a team changed captains like this? I remember the Sharks did it like 10 years ago with Thornton and Pavelski, but it wasn’t stripping Thornton of the captaincy to immediately give it to Pavelski, they took the C away from Thornton, played a full season without a captain, then gave it to Pavelski.

Is it just me or does Matthews not seem like the captain type of guy? Like he feels like a Pasta or Kuch type guy

I’d prefer Rielly but I get needing to throw the weight of the C on him and see if he sinks or tugs

Very interesting. Does this mean JT moves on after his contract expires next season?

I don’t know, he seems like the type of guy who wouldn’t want it, but I’m happy for him. After last season, he deserves it.

Good. I was worried it would be Charlie Conway
