Boston Bruins to strip one of McAvoy or Lindholm of their captaincy according to a Bruins insider
New shocking insight from a Bruins insider has unfolded, regarding the Boston Bruins stripping the "A" from either Charlie McAvoy or Elias Lindholm.
Recently, one of the Boston Bruins' assistant captains, Charlie McAvoy, took a snapshot to the face that has unfortunately concluded with this defenseman landing on injury reserve.
Following Charlie McAvoy undergoing this brutal injury on November 15th against the Montreal Canadiens, a new player was captained in his replacement.

Recent post suggests Nikita Zadorov deserves the "A"
Boston Bruins reporters, Evan Marinofsky and Conor Ryan, both spoke regarding Nikita's outstanding play this campaign.

"Nikita Zadorov has been everything and more this season.
And while I don't think he should get the C, I do think he deserves an A."
And while I don't think he should get the C, I do think he deserves an A."
Marinofsky continues by stating that Zadorov has been playing extremely strategic, while also making Charlie McAvoy successful.
That being said, he believes this talent deserves the "A" on his chest, but the likelihood of him replacing McAvoy is extremely slim.
Hinting that Elias Lindholm may be the next one demoted from his title.
