wren223 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Just let the guy play. He's done better the last number of games but just let that be that. Let him focus on his game and getting more consistent and enjoying himself. Let him lead as he does and don't put any more expectations on him. Consider it next year mid way so he can just develop. No need to rush. If he's leading now then a letter means nothing. He'll lead with it or without it. Let him play, grow and love the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickVega Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Just because other players from Bo's draft class have letters (Monahan), it doesn't mean that Van should automatically hand one over to him. Vancouver has lots of vets who can fill that role. Myself, I see wearing "C" or "A" as having a seniority component to it. Not entirely, but it would definitely play into who I would choose. Let Bo and the other young'uns learn for a few years. Apprentice under the Journeymen. This market has a bad habit of placing unreasonable expectations on young players then berating them when they don't reach said expectations. Bo will learn more in his first 4 years in the league than any other time. Let him soak it in without adding burden. Besides, if a player is a true leader it's going to shine through regardless of whether or not he has a letter stitched to his jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Linden was a second overall pick, we know how good he turned out and in a few years we will know how well Bo turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye Fruit Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 No.....just no. Not this year. Not next year. Let the kid learn and grow without all the pressure. Suter is a better bet for next captain anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech N9ne Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 This forum makes me laugh. In due time he will probably have an 'A' if he can play at the level his is right now throughout the whole season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without question,Trevor Linden made an impact in his first games as a Canuck,..after every shift he would get applause from the Coliseum crowd...He was inspiring the team,even as a kid...Stats only tell half the story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's clear for the last 10+ games, he is ready. so we'll just forget the 27 games before that where he had 0 goals then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Frk Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 There is no need to rush him into wearing a letter when we have a number of capable vets who are able to wear them. Let the kid play. He will have a letter in a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
