Pushing him into that role would ruin everything. He clearly wants to just focus on his game and I'm 100% on board with that. Give schenn an extension in the summer and slap it on him for a couple years Edited February 3, 2023 by Mustard Tiger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give schenn an extension in the summer and slap it on him for a couple years Yeah I am surprised Bo would say EP, knowing he is soft spoken and that Miller is signed long term (or even Schenn if they sign him) EP is the best player and sets an example but doubtful he would call out a floater Naslund had teammates that were vocal leaders without the C as did Henrik I forget if it was the TB or Pittsburg coach saying recently that his guys start practice without him even there and push themselves at practice We don't have those kind of players on the team to make EP's life easy and constant questions would wear on him I would think The questions and atmosphere is a lot better on a winning team to answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't be Trevor Linden, but more like Henrik Sedin or Markus Naslund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero reason to force one of these kids to speak on behalf of why the team is trash through a retool every night when they are still working on their own games. Give EP and huggy A's now and give EP the C if he wants it once his new 8 year kicks in. To me dealing with our media every day as a captian needs to is not a burden I'm willing to put on his shoulders just yet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With some support from the management and a good coaching staff, he could have done well in his second season as well. Sad to see him go but I'm glad they didn't drag it out any longer. It was getting painful to watch. The loss of Brad Shaw and Scott Walker as assistant coaches was huge. Replacements were not up to the task IMO. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me dealing with our media every day as a captian needs to is not a burden I'm willing to put on his shoulders just yet I don't mind this approach. I would indeed rather start with As for both players and not give the C to Petey until/if he signs an extension for at least three/four years (probably more). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we throw the 10x8 at him this summer. His agent dropped the ball by saying barzal is a fair comp. So 8 year 80ish + the C eventually is the path I hope we take. Less money the better but I'd rather not drag negotiations out over less than a mill. It's not worth it to cause tension imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not I do not believe that natural leaders seek leadership roles One of the problems I had with Horvat was that he was touted as the next captain the day he was drafted, not his fault, but still it set the path. I never heard him say anything like, "If the team wants me to be captain" I think he was talking about being captain in very early interviews. Its hard to imagine what would have happened if someone else came along and assumed the role I don't think Bo would have accepted that very well, but you never know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
