McAvoy and Murphy picks don't make sence to me but whatever others are reasonable

Boston - I think McAvoy is a clear choice. Marchand is aging and hated around the league.

Chicago - Foligno makes sense too. But would only be a stopgap. Hall and Jones could be options too. Maybe Bedard in a few years.

Who would you say?

For Chicago I don't think they name a captain honestly. Foligno/Perry makes sence tho they both are on expiring deals so next year they name Bedard. They more than likely want Bedsy as their captain and they don't seem to be in a rush naming a captain and like the ducks did they don't have a captain.

For Boston on the other hand I think it is gonna be Marchand just because he has given his life to that franchise and even if it's for 1 season I think they'd ask him: "Hey! would you like to be the captain or should we choose someone else"
