Who will be the next captain?

[gdaddy21]

For some reason I have a feeling it's gonna be Reinhart.

Giordano. I can see Max earning himself an A in a few years, though.

I just have a weird feeling that Gio's gonna be moved during the summer... just a feeling though.

Not if you believe Feaster saying Giordano and Brodie are the players that our D will be built around.

Feaster said Giordano was an untouchable so highly unlikely.

Sorry for my stupidity, simply didn't ever see the interview, so ya..........

Feaster says a lot of things.

Not a problem, he also mentioned Glencross for future reference

 

[MuffinMerc]

I believe his list was Brodie, Giordano, Glencross, and Baertschi as far as the "don't ask list" went.

 

[Lunatik]

It will probably be Giordano.

But I like the leadership some of the young guys bring. Cundari, Bouma, Ramage, Reinhart & Hanowski all seem like good leaders or have shown themselves to be captain material before.

Giordano - C
GlenX - A
Tangs - A

 

[InfinityIggy]

He isn't on the team yet. Monahan.

I want the next Captain Serious!

(He is a really serious guy... not just using the Toews comparison).

Probably Gio, I think Glencross definitely threw his hat into that ring as well.
Also may have to factor in, if Jarome somehow comes off riding high in Pittsburgh, and wants to come back... he'll get an offer and the captaincy; of course. I don't think he'll be back; I'm pretty sure he won't... But it's his if he does, without a question.

C - Gio
A - Glencross, Cammy & Tangs; if none are moved (Tangs/Cammy).
If one's moved, look for someone like Backlund to step up, he's been showing a ton of character recently.

If the Pens win a cup I think the odds are better for him coming back then not. His family will play a major role in where he plays and I dont think they want to move if they dont have to.

It's screwed up, I love Iggy, but I love this franchise more. While I want him to win a cup, I also want that first round pick to be like 21, instead of 30 lol

I agree with this but at the same time I would love to see Iggy get his cup and possibly return as a mentor and a leader in this rebuild. I think he certainly would if they won the cup. Give him a chance to finish his career where he has been for pretty much all of it. And I can't think of a better role model for the young guys than Iggy.

 

[Anglesmith]

I'll have a hard time thinking of any member of this roster as a captain until Iginla is retired. I think that Cammy has surprising leadership qualities. I would throw his name in the mix with Giordano. Maybe Glencross, too.

As a side note, can someone please fix the thread title?

 

[Trae]

I don't think Cammy will be around to be in consideration. I would say Iginla obviously if he wins the cup and re-signs since I can only imagine his family would want to remain in Alberta where their roots are, and where his family/friends and family's friends are. If he doesn't, then Giordano, regardless of performance, or Glencross. The extra letter to Tanguay/Backlund.

 

[Anglesmith]

This seems an appropriate thread to mention the personality of Cundari. In his post-game interview I was thinking "could there be a more different personality to Hanowski?"

Honestly? Brodie.
