Why add more pressure/stress on his shoulders then need be?
I'm actually bewildered why Matthews hasn't been given the "C" already actually.
If someone can explain how he is not the face of the team presently i would really like to hear that one.
Matthews "C"
Tavares "A"
Rielly "A"
No problem with that at all.
Marner won't mind one bit when he is winning scoring titles and cups )
I’m guessing he hasn’t been given the “C” because he won’t sign long term
Only because he hasn’t signed long term. If he signs for 5+ years then he gets the C
I woke up with a big smile on my face. The leafs won the Stanley Cup this season! The problem was Bettman didn’t know we to give the cup to as we don’t have a captain. Who should it be? Matthews, Rielly, Tavares? Or and why? Btw Matthews was just named One of the captains for the all star game. Guess he made the team.
5 years? Depends where he signs, I suppose.
It’s not all that uncommon for superstars to sign their next contract at ~5 and have captaincy. I since edited my post though as I only just realised all those examples I had in mind actually bought 1yr UFA. Matty would need to sign 6 to buy a UFA year IIUC
I doubt he sells any FA years . IF he stays in Toronto he should sign for 2 or 3 years.
This has very little precedence. If he sells for 2-3yrs then he gets none of his UFA dollars today. If he sells UFA years he gets the majority of those dollars over the next couple years.
But you don’t want to playing on a below value contract like Rielly, especially in Toronto.

Because he is a leader. Since i say face of the team means that for me......Since when does "face of the team" mean someone is the best leader in the room?
