Since Bo Horvat left for Long Island, the Canucks have gone captainless running with 4 players acting as alternates. J.T. Miller, Elias Pettersson, Quinn Hughes, and Oliver Ekman-Larsson were given leadership duties.
He also revealed that the team's top leaders in Elias Pettersson, Quinn Hughes, and J.T. Miller were pushing hard for everyone to get back in Vancouver early in order to prepare adequately for the season:
This will undoubtedly heat up some arguments, J.T. Miller will not be named captain until his situation is sorted out, and Elias Pettersson still needs an extension before he gets that kind of commitment.
We'll have to wait and see who Tocchet sees as the next leader of the franchise, but if it were you making the call, who would be the next bearer of the ‘C'?
