Speculation: Killorn next captain?

[robbieboy3686]

We didn’t name a captain last season… We just drafted a franchise #1 player, Zegras has a lot of maturing to do. Big Mac still young, Terry, might be a Captain( but I’m not sold) I could see Killorn being named captain( would also justify the higher salary he’s being given ) while the ducks wait on all our youngsters to reach their prime and see who then is truly ready. Could be crazy take. But I could see it. Thoughts ?

i'd prefer if they just go another season without naming a C

The one thing I would guess, is 2nd straight season with no captain isn’t happening. But who knows!

 

[WhatTheDuck]

I was thinking this might be a possibility. Good transitional captain while the young leader emerges.

Don’t think a new player should be made captain before he spends at least a season settling in to his new environment.

Fair

Seemed to work fine for Niedermayer

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

give em that C

How does this thread exist?

 

[Firequacker]

Everything Verbeek said about the captaincy last offseason and season seemed to categorically exclude a vet or a bridge captain. Maybe what actually happened last season changed that, though.

I won’t lose sleep if they do it. I just think a guy should earn some respect from his new teammates first. Show everybody he didn’t just come here for the money and surfing, while he settled into retirement.

Way to early for this... If anyone is going to be captain.. Its gotta be Fowler.. Even that I dont think he would make a good captain lol

I love my ducks, time to move forward

 

[Ducks]

Fowler or no C this season.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

Captain McTavish anyone ?

 

[Ducks]

Captain McTavish anyone ?

Eventually. But he needs a few more years at least until he can lead an entire team. It's super rare for teams to have young captains.

 

[robbieboy3686]

Fowler or no C this season.

We don’t know if GM PV plans to re sign cam after his current contract. If he does, then you may indeed be correct.

 

[Boo Boo]

Captain McTavish anyone ?

Not opposed but if we give it to one of the kids we should wait until our team is better so they don’t have to hold themselves accountable for our team being ass

Also fyi my hope is that it goes to terry

 

[Terry Yake]

giving fowler the C would be laughable. f*** that

 

[Ducks]

Fowler has long been the most underappreciated player on this team despite being one of our best players for over a decade, having a lead by example attitude, and doing a lot of great community work off the ice. He's 100% captain material and would be a great bridge until the new guys are ready to step up.

agreed. it's a braindead neanderthal take to think a captain can only be someone who is super physical and mean.

as for killorn, it'd be dumb to just give it to him. a captaincy should be something a player earns from the team and not just given.

 

[Sean Garrity]

I think if they were going to give Fowler the “C” they would’ve done it last season. My guess is another rotational year.
