Shanahan on Leafs’ captain: ‘When the time is right, the time is right’ (TSN)
Brendan Shanahan says there are multiple leaders on their team and they all show leadership in different ways, but ultimately it’s up to Lou Lamoriello, Mike Babcock and the staff to make a decision on their captain when they feel the time is right.
On whether now is the right time to name a captain:
I think it’s important to have leadership. You don’t have to be a captain to show leadership on the ice or show leadership in the room.
