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.
