The Toronto Maple Leafs next captain needs to show leadership, be good in front of the media and be great in the dressing room.
While I think Auston Matthews is a good for it, I definitely don’t think he’s the best. Matthews was the first-overall pick and is the face of the organization, I just don’t think you get handed the captaincy because of those two reasons.
Just because the organization changed when he signed, doesn’t mean management should gibe him the ‘C’. I don’t believe that Matthews is the best with the media, nor do I think he’s the most vocal one in that dressing room.
