Nick Suzuki finally gives his opinion on the next captain of the Canadiens and his answer says a lot about the person he is

If the name of defenseman Joel Edmundson has often been mentioned in recent months, many experts have expressed their desire to see Nick Suzuki become Weber's successor for this prestigious title.

After all, the center is coming off the best season of his young career with 21 goals and 40 assists in 82 games.

But what does the main player think about his possible nomination as captain of the Habs?

As reported by my colleague Alex Néron of Fanadiens.com, Suzuki had a few comments on the subject and let's just say he would gladly accept the challenge.

He also adds that it would be a big plus for his career and he is aware of the responsibilities it would bring.

There is still no timetable as to who will be the next captain of the Habs, but one thing is certain, whether it is Suzuki, Edmundson or someone else, the next player to wear the C on his jersey should bring a lot of leadership to this team and become a true mentor to the young players in the organization.
