Schaefer 'in no rush' to become next Islanders captain

New York Islanders defenseman Matthew Schaefer, who turns 19 on September 5, says he is 'in no rush' to become the team's next captain despite being considered a leading candidate following Anders Lee's departure to the Utah Mammoth as a free agent. Schaefer, entering his second NHL season, emphasized he wants to learn from veteran leaders like Bo Horvat and Brayden Schenn, both former captains on other teams. Islanders general manager Mathieu Darche indicated the team could name their next captain before their season opener on September 30.
