The Captaincy

Will Auston Matthews be the next captain of the Leafs?

I mean, you have to ask yourself this question when it seems so likely that he will be.

The NHL is trending on the side of younger captains.

Sidney Crosby and Connor McDavid to name a couple.

Maybe Matthews is next, who knows?

I think he’s a leader and should be the Leafs next captain and first since the departure of Dion Phaneuf in early 2016.

Let’s say it is Matthews, then when?

If not him, then who?
