i think the next captain should be plecs, even if markov is resigned. both markov and gorges as assistants.
once one of those three move on, then i'm ok with subban taking on an "A" on his jersey.
down the line, with further maturity and refinement, i'm all for subban for being named the captain. it's just too early in his career to be given this honor.
while he has the drive, passion and skill, he still lacks the authority, self-control and respect.
things like: embellishment, losing his cool and taking dumb penalties, cheapshots etc. he has to focus himself. rid himself of those foolish distractions to his overall game.
i recall recently, subban yapping up the philly bench prior to a faceoff. markov came by and nudged him away without saying a word or changing his facial expression (i.e. that russian serious look). i thought that was so telling of the different level of focus between the two.
i love subban. i want him to be a hab for his whole career. he's a very special player, person, and character. i look forward to seeing him mature and become the ultimate teammate.
