I've got Parise and Elias, and sure they're ex-captains, but neither of them were captains at the time I bought 'em.
Sal's not a bad guy, but he obviously shouldn't be the captain of this team. Arguable whether he should even be on the team. We're a defenseman factory, he's some grizzled old vet we signed a few years ago, and now he's barely visible.
I voted for The Schneider since he looked lonely, but obviously Marty and Patty take priority... although Jagr is a valid exception this year.
Get a Marty jersey. It's the safest out of all of them. Elias second. If you want to wear a jersey for years to come I'd get Henrique. I think Zajac would get traded before Henrique ever would, but I also think Henrique would bolt to Canada first chance he got in UFA.
Decisions, decisions.
Maybe Travis would be your best bet actually now that I think about it .
Henrique just gave the Devils two of his UFA years when he signed that six year deal. He does not seem to antsy to leave New Jersey at the moment.
Didn't he just sign for like 7 years lol
I've seen that guy...don't be that guy
I know this is coming from just some guy on the internet but he just bought a house in Canada and hates it in the tri-state area. He's not a city kind of guy. I know someone close to the guy who befriended him. I've never personally met him.
Obviously he could re-sign here and all of this is fear-mongering but when I was told that I immediately looked at his contract and decided he's probably bolting eventually.
Holy overreaction. Are you really fretting about what happens in 2020?

I honestly wouldn't even care if Henrique left. Probably will care if it becomes a real threat. Just sharing what I was told. The guy doesn't like it around here. Lives in Jersey City, has only been to the city once in his life (to go out independently or with friends etc..), and goes home first chance he gets. Hates it around here.
It's not surprising and it's no indication that he'll stay/leave. But when I was told that I decided, personally, that he's probably bolting.
Not to say that he is or isn't obviously.
I'm not sure if I have the dates lined up right, but I'm pretty sure we might have two more Presidents by the time Henrique is a UFA. Relax.
You're missing the point. This discussion shouldn't even be happening until 2019 at the earliest.
I probably am. I wouldn't personally spend money on a jersey if I thought the guy was leaving. So that's all I was sharing.
Completely baseless. You have no idea what goes on behind closed doors and what makes a player a good or bad captain. When Parise left, they asked various players quotes about who would be good captains. I believe Parise, Clarkson, and Zajac all said Salvador. I think there was an article on NJ.com. I think they know more about the leadership qualities in the locker room than the posters who say "Sal shouldn't be captain" based on literally nothing other than him being a scapegoat when this team loses.
