"There’s no surprise that the worst captain in the NHL comes from the worst team in the NHL, yet another indication of problems throughout the organization. Normally, it wouldn’t be difficult to make up a large portion of the worst team’s GVT…except when you perform at a sub-replacement level. If their captain can be chosen on something other than Pat Quinn’s concept of true grit, perhaps a Dustin Penner (12.9 GVT) or Ales Hemsky (5.7 GVT in 22 games) will eventually become the Oilers’ captain." -- Timo Seppa of Puck Prospectus
