Will Toews be healthy enough to play? Thought he might be injured.
If healthy, I think he'd be a natural captain - Staal seems a bit reserved, and I don't know Parent very well.

I would be shocked if it wasn't Downie. He did everything for the team last year and was the heart and soul of the squad. He will be the captain this year, regardless of how good our defensemen are.
I'm surprised there hasn't been much mention of Downie in this thread. That said it could really go to anyone of Toews, Parent, Downie or Staal. My money would be on either Parent or Downie.
There are a few frontrunners.
Since Luc Bourdon was the only one with a letter returning to this team, I would say he has the best shot.
The frontrunners, in no order, are:
-Luc Bourdon
-Marc Staal
-Ryan O'Marra
-Jonathan Toews
-Ryan Parent
-Kris Russel
-Andrew Cogliano
I don't think it will be Downie...he's too much of a loose canon...you can't afford to have your captain do something absolutely brain dead in a game. I'm going along the lines of Ryan Parent or Stall...or could even be a wild card like Bourdon.
It will be interesting to see!
