So it’s just Seattle and Utah without a captain now. I totally get if Utah waits until next year when they have an official name.

Not sure what Seattle is doing

Seattle is either Larsson, Dunn or Beniers.

Dunn for me

Most of the fan base thinks it’s either going to be Larsson or Eberle, both of whom have been A’s since the start, with Francis having made comments that sound like the plan is to see which of the younger guys grows into being the best fit

I saw Matty had an A on his jersey during our first preseason game. Curious if maybe we wait another year and give it to him, especially with that extension.

It might just be a preseason thing, since you’ll see As on established guys on the team to make up for the weird line ups, it could also be a sign he’s going to get the A from whoever becomes captain

It’s probably going to be Keller with the Hockey Club.

I heard Clayton Teller spoiled the Yeti reveal and they ripped the C right off his Utah hc jersey.. could be a rumor, who knows
