I think the tell for Bolton, SOS etc. is in the actions rather than the words. It goes without saying that they will pump up Murph's tyres in public, but if the action is to keep him as captain up to now, then I guess he is "best available." Silvagni played under Kernahan, and Bolts worked with Hodge, so I figure between them they know a thing or two about good captains. I'm sure they would have given the job to someone better, if they had the option.
At any rate, Murphy's reign is very near the end, so we can look forward to opining about the next candidate real soon.
