  1. I only popped back in to double check whether it was dead. Glad I caught your post, and help express the sadness goin round
  2. I seem to recall (albeit it was 14 yrs ago for me) that we had to provide an email to get onto here. In any case, why not just create a new email somewhere for one-time use. Odds are, you only need it to validate your account creation on the new site.
  3. Ugh, if he's suggesting the same possibility, or worse stating it as fact, I should delete all my posts on the subject
  4. Maybe management is worried that Hughes might find some appeal playing with his brothers, even if Hughes hasn't made any comments to suggest that's his goal. As we Canuck fans well know, brothers often enjoy playing together. People can proactively help prevent something, even if it the threat is low. Doesn't mean there has to be an overt problem to take some action to mitigate the risk. But, if Hughes had ever stated it or if management only just perceived it, his leaving would be a problem. I don't doubt his leadership, and I never claimed he wasn't worthy. I only suggest that perhaps management is including his captaincy in the calculation as an added perk beyond what his leadership will bring. It's also possible it never entered anyone's thought at all, and your last paragraph is completely right. I'm not hanging my hat on anything here. It was all just a spitball speculation I figured I'd share that might or easily might not have any merit. If there's some halfwit journo up there making a similar claim, in an attempt to stir up crap, I'm totally unaware and am not trying to perpetuate it.
  5. Of course captains can leave. The C is only a piece of the puzzle. Maybe it matters a little, maybe not at all. I'm not saying anything more than that. Anyhow, I agree with pretty much everything else you say. here's hoping the team does well enough to earn his loyalty
  6. No paranoia here. With or without the C, QH may have enough love for the team and city to stay, perhaps enough to turn down higher offers when the time comes. I'm only suggesting that the C might help.
  7. I wonder if naming him captain is also a carrot to help keep him here, in case he thinks playing with his brothers is worth investigating
