If our choices are between Tavares, Rielly, and Matthews, we are in great shape.

Also that's the order how I rank them in odds of getting the C.

Good pros who work hard and are stand up family guys will always be options. Marleau is probably the front runner imho.
Marleau could keep an A, but I don't see him being named captain at 41 in his last season. They'll make it a young guy and will likely follow the lead of Edmonton and Buffalo. Matthews will be captain.

I have a hunch it will end up being Rielly.

I sincerely hope not.

I'd rather him not have to worry about the added pressure of being captain and continue on focusing on improving as an all-round defenceman, as we've been seeing rapidly over the past 2 seasons.

Tavares is a finished product as a franchise centre. He can handle it all.
