We already knew that Elias Pettersson was going take on a bigger role once Horvat was dealt, but so will Quinn Hughes. Both of the youngsters will be taking on leadership responsibilities alongside Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Quinn Hughes.
But then J.T. Miller added his comments, and it causing quite the consternation when he used the word accountability. Let it be reminded that one of the suspected reason for Tocchet's in-season hiring was to held Miller accountable :
The team revealed they weren't in a hurry to hand the C, though from Tocchet and Allvin's comments on the subject, it was clear that either Hughes or Pettersson would get these responsibilities.
Do you like that Hughes and Pettey now have a bigger role within the team's structure? Can they change the tone within the locker room and set a winning atmosphere? We'll have to wait and see, won't we?
