Honestly, not a chance after the stunt he pulled in the first round.
He needs to mature more.

IMO that is a reason why he should be captain. Bleed,die,kill for the team.

That wasn't something he did for the team. That was something that he did for himself that hurt the team.

Fair enough. Perhaps so. Had some sadistic glee when that went down.
Feelings aside its a fine line...
Stick up for marner but get suspended
OR
Try to stick it to bruins on scoreboard
Both are imporant. Maybe leafs would have been better off he didnt do that.

Freddie Anderson as Captain. I like how he created an internal debate last season w/ his frustration (but not how he used media to express it) But i think he learned from that mistake. He has the most experience in my eye on the ice, and can help organize the leafs biggest issues... and that is Defensive zone entry and Defensive zone exits.
Austin Matthews as Alternate Captain. This will give Matthews an entry level role to start discussions with referees and bypass rule 14D that restricts the ability of a GOALIE to be Captain.
Thoughts?

How do you figure? He saw a giant pin and a weasel take a shot at Marner's head. He took exception and retaliated for Marner. That was for the team. You can say it was overboard and ultimately hurt the team but you can't say it was for himself.
More on point, I like Kadri, I see the argument for him being captain. In my opinion he should be an "A". To be honest, I don't know if the team will give him that even.

I agree with Shogun somewhat.
'Its not if you win or lose but how you play the game'
Relates to Kadris suspension. Perhaps that hit lost the series for leafs (OR IT DIDNT, ITS UNCERTAIN)
BUT how kadri plays over time will lead to much more success than failure

Yeah, the problem with that is that the action itself would always hurt the team, so if he cared about it he would have found a smarter way to go about it. And the whole argument ignores that Kadri didn't just out of nowhere do this. He was running around way before that, and even got a talking to on the bench to calm down. He went ahead and got himself suspended anyway.
I love Kadri, but that was a stupid, stupid move.
As for captaincy, to me that's just symbolism. Who do we want to represent the team towards the media and such. Those that are leaders of the team will be leaders of the team no matter if they have a letter on their jerseys.

I'm totally thinking of Bill and Ted's excellent adventure right now.
Also taking great joy everything is so bogus in Montreal/Ottawa.
Such a gnarly feeling for this season.

Kadri’s great. But I wouldn’t name him captain. At best an “A,” but I’m pretty sure our letter wearing core will be some combination of Matthews, Tavares, and Rielly.

Oh go p!$$ up a tree dude lol. Don't run his teammates lol. So what, he plays the edge and that happens.
He is very good in the room otherwise. I wasn't even mad at him and laughed. It wasn't smart though was it!
He will always be that. Just accept it.

All good points. Ididn't say he did a smart thing. I just don't agree that he did it for himself, he was hot. He saw the Bruins buzzing around controlling every aspect of the game and then, like a said, a giant and a weasel take liberties against one of his stars. IT WAS NOT SMART. but also IT WAS NOT FOR HIMSELF.
