Simple yes / no question. Understand it's somewhat early, and his legacy and future is not set in stone... But this is the 5th season Phaneuf is captain.
Looking back at our previous captains:
Mats Sundin - 1997 - 2008: YES
Doug Gilmour - 1994 - 1997: YES
Wendel Clark - 1991 - 1994: YES
Rob Ramage - 1989 - 1991: NO
Rick Vaive - 1981 - 1985: NO
Darryl Sittler - 1975 - 1981: YES
Dave Keon - 1969 - 1975: NO (Personal Choice)
George Armstrong - 1957 - 1969: YES
So going back to 1967, the last cup win, only 2 out of our last 8 captains have not had their numbers honoured by the Leafs. I'm not including Keon in that list because that's his personal preference to not be honoured at this point. The organization will honour him the first second Dave Keon agrees with it.
So, what do you think. Leaving this YES / NO instead of leaving an option called "TOO EARLY TO DETERMINE"
