I surprised at all of the trade Georges stuff. People have to manage expectations, he does a lot of little things that teams need to win, he is a perfect bottom 3 guy.
That said I wouldent want him as Captain. I think age is a factor so I dont see Gallagher or Subban getting the C just yet. Markov and Plek are the 2 obvious candidates should Geo depart, however if he is willing to be reasonable on term and rate I thing MB would like to keep him around for the next two years, I could see him getting the same deal as Briere got.
