Does Jack Eichel have any experience as a captain? Obviously he was only ever a frosh at BU, so I'm assuming not there, but what about the NDTP or team USA any time?

I've just been curious because he is obviously good with his teammates, at least based on the funny videos we've been seeing. He also seems good with the media - every team NA article has multiple quotes from him despite being one of the youngest and least experienced on the team. And they seem like they are well thought out, intelligent responses, not just cliches like athletes' interviews so often are.

I don't follow the Sabres so idk if this is typical for him, but if it is and if he has any ounce of leadership quality I could definitely see him becoming an NHL captain some day. He's just really impressed me the last few days!

Yes. He was the youngest player to captain a U.S. National Junior Team in 2015. (http://www.usahockey.com/news_article/show/591913?referrer_id=752796)

I don't know about other teams though.

He's worn several letters, both C and A, for the US, and actually was given an A for his sophomore year at BU (the banquet was during the draft lottery, which he didn't attend in favor of that).

Yeah, this is pretty standard for him. Going off his eliteprospect's page, he was captain of the 2015 US WJC team, had an A for previous U17 and U18 tournaments, and another in bantam.
