So then all of those teams we had where the Captain was unable to get his teammates to respond or couldn't do anything on his own to spark the team ... was just a guy that nobody was willing to follow. I don't care how they did it or what they said in the dressing room ... or on bowling night ... it is the results on the ice that matter. That is where you see who is the good captain and who isn't. As long as the players are following and responding on the ice ... thats all that matters. I get the whole off ice thing of making the young guys feel welcome and important ... but if you can't do something on the ice that makes everybody stand up on the bench and take notice ... when it is needed ... then you aren't a good Captain. You may be the best of what we have to choose from ... but that doesn't make you a good captain. I don't know that we have a good choice for Captain in our group ... don't know much about Welsh and Dunda and Desjardins ... time will tell. First, a lot of winning and losing in junior has to do with talent on the ice. At this level that's 75-80%. Leadership and coaching can get you the other 20-25% IMO. So you can't equate leadership purely in terms of winning and losing. Obviously a leader that is great off but can't do his part on the ice can't be a great leader... Right ... and thats why I am not commenting on what I can't see. I'm not really talking about winning and losing ... just talking about sparking the team and shifting momentum. At some point there is not much you can do when the 2016-17 Wildcats are playing the 2016-17 Seadogs ... talent wins over. |

It's not a good sign that nothing has come out on Khovanov. According to the timelines laid out this summer, he should be getting back on the ice soon. He will likely need at least 5-6 weeks of conditioning and getting his strength back. If he was to play here he would likely do that here, it sounds like he is in fact staying with Kazan Ak bars in the KHL.

Or just speculating because of the timelines? |

Moncton will realize preseason means squat when the season comes. Cb took a run at Pelletier and things erupted and they settled down pretty quickly, there not going to be any higher than 4th in the division but they aren’t the push around the team they used to be |

Four free agents, over 200 pounds and and you think Irving bought a tough team. Pelletier or any other of the top picks will not be taken advantage of in this league. When the shoe is on the other foot it's a different story. The Cats will be ready next year for the new arena, but free agents who are passed over in the OHL , with the odd exception, will not be impact players in the Q.
