Ryan O'Reilly was supportive of Colorado's choice to name his linemate Gabriel Landeskog as the team's newest captain.
He posted: "Congrats @GabeLandeskog92 on youngest captain in NHL history. Amazing player and even better guy" on his Twitter page Tuesday. O'Reilly was also thought to be a strong candidate for the team's captaincy and coach Joe Sacco said that once the 21-year-old's contract status is settled he might get an "A" on his sweater and join Milan Hejduk and Paul Stastny as assistants.
