Did he demand that he want captaincy? No. Every one would probably want to be captain, if someone asks you if you are ready to be captain, chances are you aren't gonna say no lol.
Also, the fans here have been labeling him our next captain practically ever since he's ever been a canuck. Horvat isn't 19 or 20 years old. He's 23. Except he's as mature as a 30 year old veteran. He deserves every right to be our next captain. And quite frankly, he possess all the traits of a good leader. So I don't know how far you're going to take this, but you are insinuating that Horvat is somehow a locker-room problem, which he is so obviously opposite from that.
