Any player that has been in a locker room soon discovers who the leaders are and the coaches/management and anyone close to the team doesn't need the letter to be reminded...

Caught that Edmonton slip.... PK to the Oil for Yaks and 1st rounder?
BINGO!

Unlikely.

No way they get 3 wins without Gallant.

having 4 A's instead of 1 C and 2 A's makes no difference......the players inside the lockerroom know who the leaders are, regardless of the letters sewn on the front of their jerseys

Boychuk and Krug? I don't get it, what is going back the other way? B's can't take on the salary of a big time player... Is it a ton of draft picks or something?

Think that'd be a bad move for the Bruins.

Also, I don't follow the habs that closely, but why isn't Markov the captain? Seems like a slap in the face for the amount of years he's been there.

Not really his deal. He's more of a "I'll play my game, you guys worry about yours" type guy.

Markov doesn't really enjoy the dealing with the media. He's already turned down the captaincy once

That's why the last time they went on without a captain, they reached the Conference finals.

Rangers seemed to do Ok once Callan was dealt.

Captain or no captain, it takes a series of leaders in the locker room, not just one guy. Yet to be seen if no captain in MTL makes a difference of not but on the outside looking in, there are some strong personalities and leaders with the habs.

The four A's, Weaver, Prust, Moen but it has been reported on many levels that the person with the most clout on the team is Price.

Time will tell though.

Think he was more eluding to them talking about Krug and JB, not in a package deal but more what they could get each player for.

Be crazy to move Krug at this point IMO

Habs should have kept Briere and named him captain (as well as first line centre).
