Bruins Disclose Major Change in the Franchise by Mistake

The Boston Bruins are currently facing an important juncture. Despite having their most successful season in NHL history, their playoff run ended earlier than expected, and they lost some key players since then. As a result, significant changes are expected within the organization.

The big piece of the puzzle concerns Patrice Bergeron, as even himself seems unsure of what lies ahead for him.

However, a recent incident may have unintentionally revealed the Bruins' future plans.

The following image was posted on Twitter:

At first glance, you might notice a "C" on Marchand's jersey in the picture.

Although the image is a bit blurry, it looks more than a "C" than an "A".

The implication here is quite simple: If Marchand becomes the captain, it's likely because Bergeron has retired, creating an opportunity for the Bruins to pass on the captaincy to Marchand.

Are things falling into place like this? Who would you name captain of the team if Bergeron retires?
