I largely agree. Whether you're quiet or vocal, if you're the one guy that can be put out at any time, in any game situation, and make any on-ice unit the strongest it can possibly be, you're captain material in my book. Whether or not RNH is that guy for Canada is up for debate, obviously, but he certainly seems among the very best candidates in a pool full of captains from their respective junior squads. He's certainly the most accomplished, so there has to be a respect factor there, too.
