Nope. I think the new coach really likes Gionta and from what the player's have said they really like his work ethic. There's a reason why he was the Captain down in Albany.

I bet he's a lock to make the team. Like I said, the coach really really likes him.

definitely. Maybe Zubrus too. We have veterans for a reason!
Also look at the team's stats from last season. Gionta is about equal to Ruutu, same age, and played fewer games. He's on the team.
I think the only thing they will notice about Zubrus is how slow he is and his bad taste in music lol.

Henrique would be awesome. But realistically, should be Greene or Zajac. Cammalleri and Elias with the A's.
And forget Urbum already...Should clearly be Bergfors if/when he comes back.

I'd throw a younger guy in there as well...Henrique fits with where this team is going(youth movement) kind of like what other teams are doing. It be nice to have a long term captain in place and not another one for a couple of years.
I know one thing, it won't be Elias as he's said he doesn't want to be captain. He'll get the "A" this year
i think Greene or Zajac. And I prob lean Zajac. I think giving him the C would actually take some pressure off. Just be a leader, don't worry so much about scoring.
fans will call for his head if he has the C and doesnt produce. thats how their mentality works.

If there was ever a time I figured they'd make Zajac a captain, the time would have been right before the lockout shortened season started. Right after he signed the extension.
Nothing to do with Salvador, aside from the fact that he wasn't going to be around nearly as long as Zajac. Zajac was a younger guy with many years left, though also a veteran.
It's probably best we didn't give him the captaincy though. I think it's gotta be Greene.

I think we will see what Lemaire did in Minnesota and rotate three A's every so often or monthly as well as home and visiting.

Hell Toupée!!!
i never liked the idea of rotating the C
it cheapens it when (yay!) everyone gets a turn.
my bears did it ….was not into it then also

THIS! I think it's Greene with the 'C', Elias an 'A', and Henrique the last 'A'. Only way Patty doesn't have the 'A' is if he doesn't want it. If that's the case, then it goes to Cammy IMO

I can see rotating 'A' but not a C.
I think Greene has the inside track, but who knows if Hynes wants to really go young he could very well give it to Henrique.
Ideally: C - Greene, A - Elias, A - Zajac, Henrique, or Camm. I could see the Home A's and Away A's being different.

Honestly I hated the Salvador pick for the C. I really have nothing against Salvador, and honestly I think it'd be kind of nice to see him get in a couple games next year, but everyone knew Salvador's days were already numbered as an effective shutdown guy even before the captaincy.
I always liked that you could count Devils captains on one hand. When you look back at the likes of Stevens, Driver, Muller... a year or two of Bryce Salvador just didn't seem right to me. Would've much rather seen Zajac or Henrique named then.

I didn't like Salvador being captain much, but it seemed like a lot of people didn't like it because they felt the C is what kept him from being scratched.
After seeing how bad another certain veteran was last year and him NEVER being a healthy scratch, I don't think he would have been a healthy scratch ever. Even if he had no letter.
Guys like Tallinder and Volchenkov were scratched because they weren't as tenured with the organization. That's my opinion and it's pretty obvious. Same reason why Ruutu, Ryder and Havlat were healthy scratches over our more longer tenured forwards last year. Those guys were bad, they weren't as bad as some of the guys that kept playing every night though.
They weren't as bad as Salvador those last few seasons, but they would have always been scratched before him because of his seniority with the organization. Or at least under DeBoer. Maybe things would have been different with a Lemaire or Burns in there. Lemaire scratching a very long tenured Pandolfo, and Burns scratching Dano in the 2003 playoffs.
