The debate surrounding the appointment of Montreal Canadiens centre Nick Suzuki as the team's new captain seems to have reached a consensus in the organization's dressing room. Some hockey experts agree. For Grant McCagg, Nick Suzuki is ready for his responsibilities. He first made the connection with Jonathan Toews and Sidney Crosby to illustrate his point. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/grantmccagg/status/1569390793051316227?t=34kRJv_1rN01iFk8W8WSkA&s=19&fbclid=IwAR0Ugx4UQrlK0kXsNpQCXbT-wvCYwInh83gW_8Y8Fyr1wexNEOlIAnzwGXU'> </a></blockquote></div> Of all the players still active in the NHL, only three centre players on their roster reached the Stanley Cup Final before the age of 22. Jonathan Toews, Sidney Crosby and Nick Suzuki did. The first two were named captains at ages 19 and 20. The Montreal Canadiens' star was named captain a few days after his 23rd birthday. Certainly, Sidney Crosby and Jonathan Toews were identified as concession players and it's safe to say they were. Nick Suzuki had his best season offensively at 22, and then he seems to be improving from game to game. His maturity is praised by all his teammates and his leadership is certain. His work ethic on and off the ice is unmistakable in his desire to win night after night. With assistants like Joel Edmundson and Brendan Gallagher, Nick Suzuki will be well supported in the leadership role he is being given today.
