What if Paul Marner is reading this thread and makes Mitch demand a trade in the off-season cause we're making fun of Paul here?

I love Marner but being in a team mates arms in a ballet isn't exactly following in Wendel Clarks footsteps.
Give him the new position of General and call it a day.

I think Rielly is the best decision. He looks like the glue of the team. Gets along with everyone.

It will be Reilly, he has been a Leafs the longest except for Kadri. Plus he is a Number 1 Dman.

It’s going to be Matthews and likely the day they announce his contract extension.

He’s 1st overall, their best player and apparently wants the letter. Can’t see any way that he doesn’t get it.

I do not see us naming a captain until after Mathews signs and it is looking more and more like it is Rielly as the captain with every passing day.

Next Captain of the Leafs and why? It’s Reilly for me. Becoming more self evident. Articulate, top D, true blue, leads by example, no double talk and genuine nice guy.
I doubt that we trade for Reilly.

Morgan Rielly would be my choice.

C- Matthews
A- Rielly
A- Tavares

Hyman is not an option...

Why doesnt Matthews he have an A now? And how often to players go from no letter too captain? Would guess it ends up with Tavares or Rielly. Leafs got some good choices for captain, good problem to have.

I literally don't care.


I kinda hope it's Matthews because I already have the 'C' on my jersey with his name on it.

I don't believe that wearing a letter prior is a prerequisite for being a captain. McDavid, Eichel, Landeskog, Anders Lee and Nick Foligno never wore an A before being named captain.

I feel like the C may be a part of the negotiation for his new contract with the Leafs. They offer him the captaincy, which will land him numerous sponsorships, etc. in exchange for him taking a lesser deal.
