The Montreal Canadiens have their future Shea Weber under their hands
Currently in the midst of a storm, most of the Habs' players are not responding to this poor start to the season. After 13 games, Dominique Ducharme's team has only three wins.
If the majority of the group is not delivering the goods, there is one player that we can name who shows character and seems to have the team's success at heart: Nick Suzuki.
After a difficult start to the season, with only two points in seven games, the number 14 didn't shy away from the media after the game against the Ducks mentioning that he played his worst game of the year.
Since that game, Suzuki has seven points in three games and is clearly the best player on his team. The 22-year-old is showing great leadership, giving his all for his team, despite the lack of effort from many.
With Shea Weber retired, according to Mr. Drouin, it's obvious that the Canadiens doesn't have a leader right now. It might be important to appoint a captain to turn things around.
Take the Ottawa Senators, for example, who named Brady Tkachuk as captain. Also 22 years old, the Sens' number 7 represents the future of this team. This is what is important according to Dany Dubé.
"The captain has to represent exactly the team you want in the future."
Now with 12 points in 13 games, Suzuki is 17th in the NHL in points. The character of the Habs' youngster is more than impressive.
Isn't it time to name Nick Suzuki as captain of the Montreal Canadiens? Now or at the end of the season, he should have the "C" on his jersey.
