On the decision to give assistant captain letters to Zach Hyman and Jake Muzzin tonight:
It’s something that has been in place for quite some time. Before the training camp even began — long before camp — we had the discussion with myself, Kyle, and Shanny. We had the discussion with the players before camp began.
My take on last season, in getting to know the players and getting to know the leadership group: It is very clear that Hyman and Muzz are both big parts of our core and big parts of our leadership group.
