“We’ll have a captain and a couple of alternates, and that’s where we’ll be.
When I got here last year, I knew Larkin was the captain, but we had six, seven rotating A’s. I didn’t even know who wore them on any given night.
We’re Original Six. All my years here (as an assistant coach), there was always a clear definition of who was going to go.
Those younger players are still evolving in that role, and they’ve got a lot of help around them.
I expect our younger letter wearers to lean on them. They all have good experience. And the ones that were wearing them, I don’t expect them to change one bit. So I think we’re in a good spot.”
