Confirmed with Link: Trouba to be named Captain as per Kevin Weekes

[IDvsEGO]

It's real IMO.....Laf does look like a goof a lot of times.....would be nice to see some more man upping take place.....kind of what plagues the Blue Jays these days.....I'm rooting for Trouba to lay somebody out in Game 1 and then for our A who is on the ice to step up and grab the first guy that darts for Trouba....that is what this team is missing....a Gallant like identity . p***yes be gone !!!

nice to see that someone in the 1990's invented a time machine...

how does anyone not love Panarin?

I have a sneaking suspicion that Isles fans don’t love him.

 

[Baby Punisher]

I just don’t understand considering I don’t think he’ll be around for too long.

He’ll definitely be a scapegoat whether it’s warranted or not, you can count on that

He already was one.

Congrats Trouba!!!!!!!!!

 

[haohmaru]

Rumor has it this thread isn’t a rumor anymore.

 

[Chaels Arms]

His penmanship looks immaculate.

well, we traded our last two defenseman captains so maybe that's a silver lining?

 

[MrPodz]

I don’t love this (I don’t think Trouba always leads by example and he doesn’t strike me as a very intelligent guy), but the team just went through a long, grueling and intense playoff run.

Gallant and Drury probably learned a ton about the players on this team over those two months and saw all they needed to.

I don't think that's fair. Trouba's wife is a doctor. Just because he may not be the smartest, doesn't mean he isn't meant to be a leader.

A leader surrounds himself with the right people and when the going gets tough, he resets the room. From what I have seen, the guys really like trouba. He is easy going, but a monster on the ice and he wants to be here. I KNOW ITS NEW YORK, but that's not always true. You have to love this city to be committed to it and he does.

Remember tom wilson? Trouba wasn't there for that. Look what happened. Yeah they got reaves as insurance but no one and I mean no one will mess with our guys when trouba is on the ice. And he is on the ice a lot. Getting hit by that dude is like getting hit by a monster truck driven by a dude on 2g of coke.

He also fixed the room in the playoffs. You know he is clutch. Yes he f-----d up multiple times and most players make mistakes, but his game can change a series. Having that as the face of your franchise is gnarly. He also just isn't a bad player. He is okay on defense, actually a very capable offensive defenseman, can eat minutes, and his partner is improving too. Together, they will get better.

These aren't the guys you should be worried about.

They'll be able to keep them both. Its the Chytil/Kakko/Goodrow/Kravtsov/Lindgren group that is likely going to be sacrificed.

So long Goodrow then. I don’t know in what universe you prefer Trouba at $8m to Lindgren at $3m but Rangers gonna do Rangers things.

 

[bobbop]

Bobbop....do you think Turk had more say in this then Drury did ?

I think he had a big say. Supposedly Gallant wanted to make Trouba the Captain last year but was red lighted at the last minute. Right now, Turk has a lot of chips. That’s what winning will do.

This was an easy choice for Drury...

and Gallant.

You (or a mod) should update the title to Confirmed.

 

[hackeyman]

Just a placeholder for Krav, clearly.

They are creating a new role for Krav........Highest Commander In Chief !

Trouba deserves this more so than kreider. Well done Rangers.
