If he made 3 mil you wouldn't even bat an eye at his play.

Yeah we would cause he plays on the top line and top PP unit. Seriously zajac isn't this lockdown number 2 center you all make him out to be. He isn't Patrice Bergeron not even close.

We've never compared him to Bergeron

He's had one bad season and you guys are all over him. Guess what? No one else other than Schneider had a good season.

No but the way you talk about him you might as well. One bad season? Been at least two now. The guy consistently underwhelms on the ice yet he's a great Captain choice? He's not even a face off specialist for (frank)'s sake he's just the best guy we got.

Rico might not be as good defensively as a lot of us think but he is more then respectable and you can't tell me that Zajac and all the defense he brings is so much better then Henrique that it also negates that on top of being respectable in his on end he out produced Zajac but close to twenty points ? I'm just not buying it. You put Rico on the ducks or any cup contender and I bet he puts up sixty points. I honestly don't know if you but Zajac on a cup contender if he surpasses 30 pts.

48 pts on last years team wasn't too bad. Also I was unaware you have to be an offensive dynamo to be a captain, because that's all the requirements you guys have listed.

So what about those 60 pt seasons of his? I know you're going to immediately say that it's in the past, we'll look at the players he had around him. You expect him to produce 60 points with poop around him? Give me a break.

Seems that what anyone who isn't a fan of Henrique would say I guess he is only a forty point player and being on a better team wouldn't help his numbers at all.

I don't think anyone here isn't a Henrique fan. You guys just keep suggesting more offensively gifted players should be captains.

Also I never said he wouldn't put more points up on a better team, you're just being obtuse.
