Prospects with Captain Potential?

[PanthersRule96]

In FLA, if you consider him a prospect kinda, Steve Weiss.

Others with captain material:
Anthony Stewart
Rostislav Olesz
Greg Campbell

MAYBE Nate Horton, I dunno. I'm not sure about him yet.

 

[Winston Wolf]

2 captains from the same team? I think you should make a choice between the two!

For habs, Chipchura and Higgins for sur.

Ditto

Hellooooo? Anybody home?

 

[DaveG]

For the Canes:
Eric Staal
Andrew Ladd

Around the League:
Ben Eaves
Kyle Chipchura
Mark Stuart

 

[McDonald19]

Getzlaf or Tim Brent for Anaheim.

 

[BAuldie]

So you're saying that Kesler has less skills than Linden and that Linden sucks...therefore Kesler sucks.

I can't believe nobody else has responded to this stupid comment.. obviously you never watched Linden before he played for the Islanders.. He was an All-star on a couple of occasions and a member of the 1998 Canadian Olympic team. Linden was the heart and soul of Vancouver and 30 goals per season plus strong two way play and one of the best community guys around.

 

[CharlieGirl]

Tim Brent for Anaheim.

Good call...... Brent is an outstanding leader.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

This is one area where I don't feel NJ is solid at all. Parise would make a good assistant but captain is very doubtfull. Vrana would also make a good assistant but not captain. Depending on how David Hale develops I think he would be our best choice.

 

[Winston Wolf]

Parise would make a good assistant but captain is very doubtfull.

Why in the world is that?

 

[PanthersRule96]

Ones I can think of would be:
Richards
Paille
Campbell
Brent
Ovechkin
Staal
Getzlaf
Chipchura
Phaneuf (A)

 

[Chistov23]

Getzlaf or Tim Brent for Anaheim.

I was going to list those two but I would also add in Mark Popovic.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

Why in the world is that?

He just doesn't strike me as a player that would be a good leader. He wasn't captain in North Dakota, wasn't captain for Team USA, isn't the captain in Albany.....just a gut feeling.

 

[salty justice]

Seabrook, Barker, and Fraser could all be NHL captains someday. But Bell, Calder, or Ruutu will probably hold the C in Chicago for the next decade hopefully.

 

[LeafErikson]

For Toronto Colaiacovo, Stajan, Steen, or Johny Mitchell who plays for the plymouth whalers.

 

[TruGr1t]

So you're saying that Kesler has less skills than Linden and that Linden sucks...therefore Kesler sucks.

You have reading comprehension problems.

 

[MojoJojo]

Schremp would make a great captain. He would have no problem arguing with the referees, and his work ethic would rub off on all those around him.



























:lol

 

[mattihp]

I have a good hunch Nokelainen will be a very good leader in the future. That guy can do almost anything on the ice.

 

[FearTheFlyers]

I disagree with those who said Stewart. He floats too much to be captain material.

 

[Nielson81]

Mikko Koivu

 

[Kvashinator12]

not one person said Jermey Colliton...i don't see how anyone can leave him out of this.

 

[MHJS]

I disagree with those who said Stewart. He floats too much to be captain material.

Actually, Stewart doesn't fight nearly enough. He usually stays away from it because of his value to the team. If he fought more there would be a lot more broken jaws around the OHL like Horton received.

 

[Jeff Goldblum]

He said float, not fight.

 

[Moskau]

This is one area that I feel the Sabres excell at.

• Dan Paille
• Drew Stafford
• Paul Gaustad
• Chris Thorburn

All have captain potential. Last year AHL and NHL Derek Roy also would make the list but this years version (although producing) is scaring me. You could also make a case for guys like Clarke Macarthur and even Doug Janik (if he ever makes it to the NHL on a consistent basis).

 

[Gwyddbwyll]

The only prospect on the Coyotes I can see with that potential is probably Keith Ballard. I dont know if he captained Minnesota, but he's a leader.

 

[Blackjack]

He just doesn't strike me as a player that would be a good leader. He wasn't captain in North Dakota, wasn't captain for Team USA, isn't the captain in Albany.....just a gut feeling.

I agree. But what might happen is Niedermayer wearing the C for the next 4 or 5 years while Parise wears an A, and then when he leaves, Parise might be ready for a C.

If you're going to say Doug Janik then I'd include Adam Mair on that Sabres list.
