Doesn’t matter who’s captain. Gallagher is the type of guy you can put on Crosby’s wing at the olympics and win gold. Pacioretty was getting breakaways every game when he was on his line and in race for the rocket. What a player.

They should make the players vote again. And totally disregard the vote to confirm Shea Weber as the Captain. WHat a shit show this is.

Players in the room know who the leaders are regardless of a stitched letters on a jersey. Makes no difference in the room.
Players follow leaders regardless of a C or A on a jersey.
Its leadership they follow. Its not like the C gives you any more authority over any1 in a room. Respect is earned thru actions not a title.
The whole thing is overated. At all levels. All sports.

disagree.....when the captain speaks you listen just a little bit more

If I was GM I'd cut a deal with Seattle to take Weber.

You name Gally as captain and then sign Dougie Hamilton with Weber's money.

If no one takes Weber, we could also buyout Drouin and Byron, and move Chiarot, and have enough money to sign Hamilton.

But will Hamilton sign here?

Who ****ing cares who the captain is. The Golden Knights have been a contender for nearly all their existence and literally named their first captain this season.

What would it cost for Seattle to take Weber?
I'd be more leaning towards cutting a deal for them to take Price if he agrees. They'd have to keep salary and throw them at least a pick, but it makes sense, given his ties to the west coast. If he's on his game, he is still a top goalie. Plus, Seattle may be the only team who would take him on.

Honestly, Gally should be part of the dismantling of this team. Even given his age and health and the way he plays, he would still fetch a great return. And let's face it, they aren't going anywhere without a rebuild. Gally would be a great asset. I'd rather keep Anderson and Toffoli as they're younger.

Seems like an idea worth feeling out at least. Id lean away from the idea now but if it doesnt cost much in terms of retention or high pick I think they have to consider it

Gallagher is a month younger than Toffoli.

Gallagher should be gone along with all the other losers from this leadership group.

Gally, Webs, Danault, Byron, Drouin, Kulak, Chiarot, Staal, Armia

Id think about keeping Tatar and Edmundson, Price.

Id keep the rest.

Until Shea hangs them up or leaves there is no debate, he will be the captain.

However long that is will determine who should be next. If very soon, sure Gally, in 3-4 more years, who knows!

Anyone, doesn't much matter. Whats more important is will be the GM, D of Scouting, and HC.

Can you expand exactly on where he is wrong?
Respect is not earned through actions?
Players don't follow leaders unless they have a letter slapped on?
No doubt it's important to some players who gets the C and the A's but I think it's mostly important to the fans and probably marketing departments (I personally couldn't care less).

“Like I said this morning, we can’t wait around any longer; these games are way too important,” said Anderson. “We’ve got to start playing playoff hockey so once we get into the playoffs we’re ready to go (and) not a step behind.”

Thats the next captain.

Gallagher will be captain... Weber is not playing his age 38 season. 2 more years of this type of roster and another direction is coming boys and girls

Yes let’s hang the albatross on someone else thus ensuring they will play with additional pressure that we’re not sure they can withstand. Weber we know can take it and manages to avoid attracting criticism. Much prefer a defenseman as captain.
