I fucking hate everything about this. A pure publicity stunt, no doubt orchestrated by one Monsieur Pierre Lacroix...whom I am beginning to dislike. I know some may argue that the "C" is nothing more than a sewn-on patch for fans to latch onto, but past lessons have shown that you really can name a kid captain way too soon.

Also, I can't help but think this was the organization's way of showing the middle finger to Ryan O'Reilly, who has not yet signed a contract extension.

There are worse choices for captain, sure, but this just doesn't sit well with me at all.

Well they gave him the C as a reminder because he was stuck on "A-B-ummmm, wha's next?"
