Speculation: Our Next Captain if JT Leaves?

[doublechili]

Our eye is really off the ball with this thread.

Yup. We could have Messier, Ahab and Kirk as our rotating captains, but if Snow/Weight are still here and/or JT is gone, it won't matter.

Fritz?

 

[IslesRock4]

Chimera, when they inevitably bring him back in July.

Barzal is the motor that drives this team.

It doesn't matter who's captain if JT leaves because nobody's is going to care.

If Ledecky and Malkin allow JT to walk away for nothing, then Snow, Weight and the rest of coaching staff should be walked out the back door. This whole season has collapsed and Weight & Company as never shown any clue how to made the adjustments or rectify the soft defense.

Exiling Josh Ho-Sang to the minors sure as poop didn't fix the soft defense and goaltending. Also playing the likes of unproductive and useless Quine, Fritz & Prince over JHS and MDC is more of the same old Jack Capuano playing "Hard and Smart" types like McDonald and Strait.

Al Arbour would found a way not to give up 40-50 shots a game. This team has way too much talent to suck this bad.

MDC is really bad and barely belongs in the AHL much less the NHL. JHS absolutely belongs in the NHL and was in fact a productive player when he was here. But the organization had to give him the Nino treatment to prove a point or something.

Def Boychuk.

He's one of those D-men that charms the refs, and gets away with more than most D-men would. I think his leadership played a huge role in helping the team turn the corner in 2015.


Barzal in the future perhaps.

“Other”
I’d vote for Aho

 

[doublechili]

Fritz?

Good choice if he's doesn't take the GM job.

 

[JKP]

If it comes to it and no JT anymore, I'd say Zeeker... he's the only guy there that plays his ass off every shift.

He may play his ass off but accomplishes nothing.

 

[Sheva7]

Strait

Who cares? If Tavares leaves it might as well be Captain Underpants. You can add another 5 years to the rebuild we were almost out of.

Tra la la!

Fritz?

This was my choice after Wagner.

30+ posts in and not a single mention of Alan Quine, I guess people have already forgotten about him. He'd be the perfect captain - unassuming, leads by example in practice, watches over the team from the press box during games. Won't miss anything so he can lead the best.

At least we made the play offs when those "hard and smart" types were playing. What have we done since?

 

[Glory Days]

I voted for Casey but I want Johnston. Brings me back to my Gillies days.

 

[Richie Daggers Crime]

Snow signs Sedin twins on 4 year deals. Henrik wears the C.

Don’t forget the time he did that OT thing

Just like Tavares. Maybe the Blues will sign them both.

 

[seafoam]

J.F.Berube!

 

[seafoam]

Matt Donovan?

 

[MikeyMike01]

Yeah,a washed up player who is wildly overpaid, would be my first choice too

Bill Guerin was captain
