Captain & alternate captains

edit

It's in the rules of the NHL, that a team must have 'at least' 3 players wearing letters. That's either a captain & at least two alternate captains or if no captain? then at least three alternate captains. Thus the reason for having TBD in the infobox, as the Capitals will be naming a second alternate this season. GoodDay (talk) 16:19, 29 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

That is fine, but the section is for listing who they are, and at the moment the only one is Backstrom. Adding a TBD in there is confusing to the reader and not at all helpful. -DJSasso (talk) 12:03, 3 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
But, it is helpful, as the league calls for 'at least' three players to wear letters in any given game. Linking TBD would clarify it more. GoodDay (talk) 19:35, 3 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
