King Heffy Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Well I guess there won't be any team visits to local schools with a captain who isn't allowed near one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwarrior Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Anyone else starting to get the vibe of musical chairs with the captaincy here? Like how the sharks did it with Marleau, then Thornton, then Pavelski. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-dlc- Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 If that's the stuff that this team is focused on...no wonder they fail. It's a team effort and who cares who wears the C? Everyone has an opportunity to rise up and lead a team...just ask JT. You don't need a letter to prove anything or solidify your position. Auston's their ringer...but is he captain material? There's more to it than points. Integrity matters too. They're so wrapped up in ego related stuff. Whatever. Yes, let Auston wear the tiara crown. Gotta stay in the news somehow I guess. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wing Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Not really sure what Matthews has done so far to deserve the C more than JT. Sure he scores a lot of goals, but not when it counts. He kept playing last season to chase for 70 goals, failed and then didn't keep himself healthy for the playoffs. And lol what does JT 'being very involved' in the process with the stripping of his captaincy even mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very involved with deciding where he's getting traded to? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bell Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 This guy is obviously an incredible talent however he doesn't seem to be the type of guy to lead a team. I was skeptical of Hughes being Captain at first so who knows what will happen. Toronto always bringing the Laff to the NHL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckMan Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 I think the reason is that Tavares is in his last year of contract and has probably been told he won’t be resigned or has told the Leafs he won’t be re-signing. They’re trying to make it a smooth transition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flat land fish Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 The leafs biggest fail in this competitive cycle was signing Tavares. Matthew's has been the key guy for a long time and is long overdue o be captain. Leafs seem to have added some good pieces on their back end but this will likely be a transition year until the Tavares contract runs out.

If anything it was a very adolescent stunt, some people grow up slower than others and hockey teams are in some ways very adolescent environments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did a dumb thing and it became public because he was a public figure. You make him sound like a predatory pedophile. That is an extraordinary leap, Hef. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wai_lai416 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 lol is that so they can try trade away Tavares mid season and the narrative won’t be they are trying to dump the captain? Otherwise they couldn’t wait till next off season when Tavares is gone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good point, maybe they're putting a,contingency plan in place so if they find a deal for Taveres at the deadline or whenever they're not stuck with a messy situ of having to name a new cap mid-season or go into the playoffs without a captain, which wouldn't be a good look for management when the leafs are inevitably bounced early.

PistolPete13 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Meh. I hear the sounds of the deck chairs being rearranged. Maybe @wai_lai416is right and the Laffs are thinking about trading Tavares and his jammies off to some other franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
