What exactly did Backlund do to be so completely snubbed for the position?

Would be a big fuck you to Rasmus.

Here’s an idea: why not give the players an anonymous vote to see who the captain should be?
After all, his job is to represent THEM

Yes please do this. He was so awesome in soflo. I miss him. Glad the trade worked out for us but we lost our 1D and i think hes the best all around player on your team. And he took a contract for below what he was worth as a UFA.

Andersson, Weegar or Huberdeau. I won’t accept anything else

I think the problem with being named the captain is people expect them to be around forever after they’re unveiled. Backlund is without doubt the answer as he HAS been around forever and learned from the Iginlas and Giordanos of the world. Just because his contract is up doesn’t mean he won’t be effective in the role and if it’s for a year or two or three instead of 6-8 then so be it.

If Backlund resigns for a 2 year or something I’d give it to him and then evaluate between Weegar or Andersson after that. If Backlund doesn’t resign I’d go Tanev over the other two right now for a short term option.
