I haven’t seen one person mention Buchnevich as a potential Captain. Any particular reason we shouldn’t consider him?
He's quiet and uncomfortable speaking in English for large stretches. At least based on interviews where he is funny in a dry way, but gives short and quiet answers. The main job of a Captain is to speak to the ref to advocate on calls, and to get explanations for the calls. If the captain is on the ice, nobody else is allowed to speak with the refs. That is the point of a captain. I don't want someone not entirely comfortable speaking English to be Captain. He can be a leader without a letter.
