It’s very understated relative to how this club has typically done business in handling this symbolic organizational role.LUBBOCK, Texas – Rosters for the 2023 NFL season's Kickoff Weekend are set and will feature 15 former Texas Tech players, according to the NFL roster database as of Monday afternoon, heading toward the league's first game on Thursday night. On Monday, however, the club dropped the Hughes news rather suddenly in a press release and invited the media to a press conference. The past several Canucks captains were unveiled in big, pregame ceremonies in advance of the Canucks’ home opener.Īt these events, the club has regularly invited original captain Orland Kurtenbach among other iconic former Canucks captains and put on a show in terms of a changing of the guard. Drance Hughes’ captaincy announcement understated It’s certainly interesting that the club didn’t want to use the “C” as a possible lever, however, in their attempts to retain their superstar forward. Pettersson is a bit of an introverted character, and perhaps he wouldn’t have been moved by the inducement of the “C” anyway.
Pettersson’s time in Vancouver has rarely seen him be entrusted or empowered as “the guy.” From his bridge contract to Jim Rutherford’s tepid commentary when he first took over to Patrik Allvin suggesting that the club didn’t have any superstar players (a suggestion he later clarified), the club has often been somewhat less than all in when dealing with their best forward. The timing is a bit surprising, however, given the status of Elias Pettersson, who declined to sign an extension and pointedly declared his intention not to hold talks until after this season a few weeks ago.
Hughes was an obvious choice and one that the club has been telegraphing since Rick Tocchet was named head coach back in January. Drance Timing of announcement surprising And that side of the job tends to be particularly high leverage in Vancouver. In terms of what we are, Hughes seems to be a perfect fit. There’s a lot that goes into being a captain in the NHL which we - the fan and media - aren’t privy to.
