One of five NHL franchises currently without a Captain, the Vegas Golden Knights have done fine without one during their first two-and-a-half years in the league.
However, Golden Knights Head Coach Peter DeBoer made it clear that he’s a “believer in a captain” during a recent interview on the VGK Q&A Podcast for Season Ticket holders.
Just reading between the lines, it does seem pretty clear that the Knights are nearing making a decision on who the official leader of the franchise will be going forward.
Being an expansion team, not having a player with a “C” on their jersey has made perfect sense in that the Golden Knights have had a whole locker room of leaders.
