If they name a captain, they can only have 3 As right? 

 

If that's the case, it has to be Bo. Why would they give four guys an "A" only to strip one of them completely if they name Petey the captain?

You can have as many as you want as long as during the game there is only one captain and two alternates, or three alternates.

If you think this is a list of the 4 Alternates for this season, then you're right.. Just had it clarified, those are the 4 players wearing A's this season.. Which leads to only one possibility for the captaincy. And it's not Horvat. #EP40

He said he talked to the team but he probably got trolled.

Should and will be Bo. I can understand why some people would want Petey, but he’s only in his sophomore season and putting added pressure on him being Captain of a growing team in a Canadian market is not a smart decision. Bo’s paid his dues, and knows how to conduct himself in front of the media, as well as be there for his teammates. Besides they already call him “Cap” (see the Ice & Dice video if you need proof) 

 

Being the Best player doesn’t always mean they will be captain. Do you want us to do what Edmonton did and put all the pressure on Petey like McDavid To singlehandedly turn the franchise around? Because that worked out so well for them right?

It feels like an irresponsible thing to say he doesn’t want the C. I think most players dream of the opportunity. Whether he’s the best candidate or not is debatable though. 

I don't think so at all. He's in his second year and still learning English. And that's in addition to the fact that he seems more like a private guy who doesn't enjoy dealing with the media. I don't think there's anything wrong with acknowledging that not every player is suited to be the captain. It's not an insult to Petey, it's recognition of who he is and an acknowledgement that he doesn't have to be the captain to be important to our team.

Like any kind of leadership, the C is an honor to those who want it but a weighty burden to those who don't. We don't need to weigh our players down just to force a narrative some fans want.

Yesterday, Blake Price insisted up and down that Canucks fans on Twitter weren't truly outraged about Baertschi getting waived. The guy seems a bit out of touch to me.
