Jamie Benn has always been the kind of captain who leads with deeds, not words. and Mike Heika of The Dallas Morning News makes the case that this is exactly what the Dallas Stars need.
Benn’s style can be frustrating for fans, who’d like to know more about how he motivates the team (and sometimes wonder whether he’s saying enough). But it seems to be meshing with head coach Ken Hitchcock’s own methods:
New/old coach Ken Hitchcock preaches a strategy where he first leads and then eventually hands leadership responsibility over to the players.
