It's been announced that Sundin gets the C and Näslund & Lidström gets the A's.
Not totally unexpected.

go kim johnsson said:Agreed.
In fact, I would make Lidstrom the C since he won 3 Stanley Cups...
Never a Red Wing fan, but always liked Lidstrom...
mahovlich said:As player i would sure as heck look up to Forsberg,wonder why he does'nt have as much as the "A" ???????
mahovlich said:Some good points there, maybe that's the reason.Still, with the way he plays and how good he is you would think he is captain material.I'm sure the reason he is not captain in Colorado is because Sakic is a darn good captain and he was captain before foppa arrived.If Sakic's career was over because of an injury tommorow i really think Forsberg would get named as captain by the players and coaches in a heartbeat. Maybe not but i think he would. Was'nt Forsberg captain of the Swedish junior team in 1993? If not i can't remember who was, Naslund? Kenny Jonnson? do you remember?
arrbez said:he'd still be behind 1. foote and 2. blake in my oppinion. although he's arguably the most productive player in the league when healthy, he's never struck me as captain material personally. not that it's a knock on him, but he's always seemed to be a little bit of a loner (for lack of a better term). just shows up, quietly takes care of business, goes home
*before everyone goes and loses their mind over this, let me point out that i'm not saying he's not a great player, and i'm not saying he's not passionate*
mole said:Forsberg is in my opinion a) way too introvert and b) way too prone to 'unwise' decisions to be a captain. Giving the letters to others is definitely better.
mahovlich said:I'm just wondering what you are referring to about when you say Forsberg is prone to "unwise" decisions.I'm assuming you don't mean his decisions on the ice as he makes precious little errors there.Is there something about his personal life that would be a cause for concern?I've never heard anything negative about him in that area.Let me know
