Again, having heard Turk answering questions during his first presser, I'm not totally surprised by this with the only caveat being that I thought Drury would mandate it on Gallant to pick a captain. Probably will name a captain anyway sooner than later with Gallant still emphasizing the below to Drury.
I copy from a previous thread:
As he was asked about the Captaincy:
1st question (whoever asked smartly brought up that VGK didn't have a captain during his time there) - He said it's important and bet on a C being named by season start.
Follow-up (what you want C to be) - C is important but 23 guys more important. Voice in room has to be from 23 guys not 1 or 2. VGK didn't have a C and he felt it made a lot of guys buy in.
Another Follow-up (Reason why this specific team needs a C) - No, not really. Discussed with Drury, some of the players last year talked about wanting a captain (in exits maybe?). To him it's not a big deal but he knows it's important in a market like this.
