"In fact, there are far more worthy candidates for the position," said Panarin. "Would I want to? Rather not, to be honest. It's not just sticking a letter on [the jersey] and walking around, taking pictures with that jersey on. It's a lot of work in the locker room."
"It's not just playing hockey well. In between periods, spending extra energy to inspire, motivate, 'Come on guys, let's work on this!' Doing a lot of interviews, being the face of the club. A lot of work outside of the hockey arena."
