Big turnaround coming for the next captain of the Montreal Canadiens?
Even though Shea Weber and the next season are already approaching relatively quickly, the Montreal Canadiens' management has still not named a new captain.
Let's remember what Kent Hughes said, a few hours after he was hired as Marc Bergevin's replacement:
It's been several months of this and still nothing.
Today, the TVA Sports channel published an article entitled "Canadiens: no captain on board?".
Because yes, many are starting to ask this famous question. Could we see a turnaround in the situation?
Will the Habs' new management decide to wait before naming Shea Weber's replacement?
See an excerpt from the article:
It's true that this is a big decision and not one to be taken lightly here. According to some information circulating, the Hughes/Gorton tandem would not want to put this unnecessary pressure on the shoulders of Nick Suzuki.
Not immediately, anyway. They would like to appoint him in a year or two, when he is more experienced.
So what to do in the meantime? The logical solution seems to be to implement a quartet of assistants, composed of Brendan Gallagher, Paul Byron, Joel Edmundson and Nick Suzuki.
Do you like this idea? If not, check out the options:
1- Appoint Suzuki immediately.
2- Appoint Joel Edmundson, and take the C away from him in a year or two???
3- Name Brendan Gallagher, despite his rocky relationship with officials and despite the fact that he is unfortunately on the decline (and on a bad contract)
4- Name Josh Anderson, who is unwillingly involved in all sorts of trade rumors.
We can see here that, if the management comes to the conclusion that Nick Suzuki is not ready yet, we could really see a turnaround and another season without a captain in Montreal.
If that was your decision, what would you do?
