He can control his emotions in a public setting.

He's extremely passionate and demanding of his team mates also.

This is the perfect example of using analytics as a tool to make a more informed decision.

I hope the days of looking at a RAPM chart and saying yep or nope are gone.

Vanek has a lot of respect for the way Lindy coached him. Said so several times on ATW. Even though he was pretty (frank)ing hard on him.

Vanek was a chain-smoking, alcoholic gambling addict. He had to be hard on him. Imagine if Vanek was sober, he would have been scoring 50 a year.

Lindy isn't known for picking strong captains, and sometimes doesn't even pick a captain at all. Wouldn't be a shock if he surprised us all.
- Lunaion


I still don't think there's a captain on this roster currently

Have you ever seen Dahlin address a teammate forcefully on the bench? He's a fine "A" but if he gets the captaincy it's because they're paying him $11m a year imo

The more I hear from former players, the more I like the Lindy signing. I've went from being perfectly whelmed to cautiously optimistic. Really hoping he can end this skid. This city and it's fans deserve playoffs...and like 7 Cup wins in a row. IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK?!!!

Yeah seems like he'd be another Eichel captain...only getting the C based on talent.

He's a dumb dumb, that's why he shouldn't be the captain:

Really interested in who you'd view as a good captain if Dahlin doesn't fit the bill

-Part of the core
- Respected
- Young enough
- signed long term
- doesn't quit

If they're able to sign Stamkos that's a no brainer. Imo Dahlin is too sulky and hard on himself.

This commentary about Dahlin not being a strong or demanding leader on the team is a bullpoop narrative.

He handles all his business the proper way: behind closed doors, in the locker room, and off the ice.

Being too hard on himself is fair.

The not undressing a teammate on the bench point is total and complete bullpoop.

Plot twist: Skinner gets the ‘C’ because his laugh lights up the room and everyone likes him.

Disagree- an outside presence like Stamkos who has no history with these guys would have an easier time holding them accountable than Dahlin. I just can't see him doing it

Think he's too laid back. I don't buy the "he's dumb" stuff, but I don't think he's super vocal either. Need to have a strong voice as the C. Dahlin has the respect around the league, but not that voice IMO.
