David Desharnais.

Character player, french and a Bill Masterton nominee. He has a Bergevin contract; he is the team's top line centre; he has the respect of the coaching staff; he has the respect of his team.

Book it.

I would suggest a system of alternating captains, as follows:

C - David Desharnain
A - Francis Bouillon
C- René Bourque
A - Daniel Brière

:sarcasm:

Subban and Gorges would probably be the most comfortable with it.

Thing with Subban is that MT would have to change his approach with him if he had the C, and that might hurt his chances

I'd give that responsibility to Subban but if Gorges stays, he's gonna be the one that the TEAM will choose.

You don't make a goalie captain, period. It's a really bad idea and Luongo's case was convincing enough for me.

I'd rather keep Gionta captain if his replacement is supposed to be that media puppet Gorges.

You know, with the Therrien four-year extension I would not be totally surprised if this happened. :(

Josh Gorges will be captain imo. I think Subban should wear it but he can be a divisive personnality and it will put the spotlight even more on him so it might not be the best idea. In the end it doesn't matter as the natural leaders will always shine through.

I was against the idea for a long time, but I am coming around to the notion of Subban as captain.

The captain should be whoever the players choose as captain because they know better than anyone who's the best leader

Do or die , never quit, momentum changing, articulate, professional, walk the walk type guys should never be captain.

You forgot:

"skating like a headless chiken"

"on-ice maturity of a 10 years old"

"not knowing when to pinch"

"being distracted easily by words from opponants"

"being a good actor"

It's like people are so blinded by their love of a player that they forgot about things like logic. And what is the role of a captain.

Watch Steve Yzerman, Johathan Toews, Mark Messier, these guys are Captain.
