imo I'd probably rather see Lu keep the C then henrik get it, sure he might be a great leader in the room etc. but there's just so much bullshit from the media/fans that comes with the captaincy
all in all, besides debating the fact of a goalie being the captain, and wether or not it is a distraction for him or not, you never really hear an argument that Lu isnt a great leader or a good captain.

It didn't help that Canuck "Fans" always need a player to be the scapegoat to put the blame on when the team isn't doing well. It was a shame Naslund had to be the one chosen and that affected his play more than anything during his remaining years here in Vancouver.
Fast forward a few years later and the same fans who were throwing him under the bus are now embracing him and pretending nothing ever happened since the announcement of his jersey retirement.
