The Toronto Maple Leafs did not name a captain last season and it appears that they may not name one this season either.
According to new general manager Kyle Dubas, the fact that the Leafs have not named a captain during the offseason allows Brendan Shanahan and the coaching staff to better evaluate the roster options.
“I want to get into a day-to-day with these people and see who is best suited to handle [the captaincy], according to TSN’s Bob McKenzie.
“If we do determine that we need somebody to handle that. If we feel we have a void in leadership because we don’t have a formal captain, then that is something that I think we can address… We need to evaluate it as the season evolves and as we go through the ups and downs of a season and see how the players each individually handle the daily process of a season.”
