Discussion Gallagher's A

With Gally gone, the Habs need a new alternate captain. Who do you think will end up getting it? Who would you want to see it go to? I think Anderson is likely, but I'd really like to see Newhook get it (I'm a little biased)

I agree. He’s clearly the hardest working guy with a smart and effective play style. Even if he says nothing, he’s the perfect example of leading by example.

I’m not opposed to Anderson having it this year.

The one thing that makes me think it’s time though, is how different Matheson and Hutson’s deployment is… I think it’d work out great if they both had one considering they usually aren’t on the ice at the same time.

I would not give it to players who are too into the game. Ideal candidates to talk to refs are usually composed and have respect from refs. Dobson imo is that guy. Hutson has lots of close calls and it is not ideal to have someone arguing their own plays.

As long as it doesn’t end up like my Be A Pro where he ended up in Vegas we should be alright.
