This smells like a Leaf fan that wants to start a Captain controversy in hopes to divide the fan base to designate Draisaitl over McDavid as the " true" Captain, thus hopefully offends McDavid to jump ship and sign with the Leafs in FA where they supposedly will keep open cap space for him to sign ( blatant tampering?)
I would have given op the benefit of the doubt but I don't recognize him on this board and the title thread doesn't sit right.
It's meant to force a controversy, and I find it hard to believe a "True" oilers fan would start it considering the implications.
Draisaitl is capable to captain this team, that is obvious. He would be the first man up.
But McDavid IS the Captain of the Edmonton Oilers. In the truest sense.
He has led the team through great change which he was the obvious catalyst to drag the the team out when the Oilers were deep in the DoD.
The team would have not have come as far as they have without both their leadership.
But McDavid as Captain made it happen.
He is the true captain of the Edmonton Oilers.
And that should be repeated just In case you forget.
