I'm okay with that tbh. Subby will get the C soon enough.

 

[Gary320]

No problem with that. You don't need a C to be a leader

 

[99GoHabsGo99]

I'm glad Subban is one of them

 

[Wats]

Basically the 4 most people would consider the main candidates to be captain.

 

[Et le But]

I'm fine with this. All four are worthy of the "A" too.

[Kriss E]

Makes sense. PK will get it the following year.

 

[Ghetto Sangria]

I think this is the best case scenario. We all know PK will get it next year. It's just for the transition

 

[Sterling Archer]

Great! No contraversy, no drama.

Gives the young guys a shared voice with the old guys while the torch gets passed and Patches of PK gain another year before they take the C NEXT year.

It's sooo refreshing having a competant front office. Actually have a lot of confidence and faith in them, until they sign Boullion. then I will HATE them.

Until that happens, awesome news! GHG!!!

 

[DenverHabsFan]

Those shoes on Pleks. So gangsta...

 

[sharks9]

Good call. They'll use this year to decide whether Pacioretty or Subban should become the captain full time.

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Pretty much guarantees Subban or Patch has it next year, all very good selections.

 

[elsubz]

The moment Bouillon is signed, Pk's A will go to him.

 

[AmeriHab]

Good move, then it'll go to BGally next year lol

 

[Binary Code]

I'm more than okay with it

"I've seen the youngsters take alot of space [in the room]. It's a group of 4, plus Carey that will act as leaders"

Carey is the real captain of this team. MT also said if Price could wear a letter, he would. Price will take part in Captain meetings.

Also, Pleks and Markov will be the assistant captains all year. Subban and PK will alternate.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Great decision, I like it

 

[habsfan92]

An American, Czech, Russian, and a Canadian. Almost like the U.N., by committee, international committee. Best things really. How come the Europeans never smile.

 

[the paisanos guy]

Great move, couldn't be happier with it.

 

[CH4]

why not rotate them though?

rotating the C within those 4 would have been my solution.

[le_sean]

That's dumb. I see the point with Saku, big transition. But Gionta? Who cares.

You'll either piss people off this year or next, I don't see the difference.

You should edit your first post then

It's 20/21 first home for PK and 20/21 first away for Pacio not 41.
