Wheeler should be captain now.

[White Out 403*]

Why waste time? Wheeler is the heart and soul of this team. He's such an obvious leader that I can see it from the couch in my house. Give him the C. It's Wheelers team now.

wheeler gets the c no question. he deserves it. honestly kind of think scheifele gets an a

 

[YWGinYYZ]

Wouldn't surprise me if he gets the C - he's been handling most of the media relations lately anyway.

That said, it also wouldn't surprise me if they ran with A's for the rest of the season. Should be interesting to see what happens.

 

[mcpw]

Wait till offseason.

 

[DerekDevils30]

Oh, you KNOW it's going to be Stuart. That heart BABY!

 

[jetsforever]

They might wait until the offseason in case Ladd re-signs

 

[Aavco Cup]

Has anyone else been wearing an A since Stu got hurt? It leaves only Wheeler with a letter now.

 

[lomiller1]

Wait till offseason.

yep, no C until next year. Wheeler is the leading candidate but maybe he asks to get out as well, or maybe the Jets still end up signing Ladd, in which case he likely gets the C back.

 

[Eyeseeing]

Not enough glue
Captain Stewie
I kid

 

[JC Numminen]

Dont see them naming a new captain this season. It will likely be over the off season.

If Ladd was to come back in the off season, you think he would get the C back?

Dont get me wrong, I feel Wheeler should have it anyway, but didn't know what you did in that situation.

 

[razorsedge]

Wheeler is without question the teams leader now.

 

[Guardian17]

Wheeler should be captain.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

There won't be a captain the rest of the year. Even if they offered it to Wheeler right now he'd turn it down. That's how things are done with class. Wheeler will take over in the off-season.

 

[Aavco Cup]

Buff wearing an A tonight

 

[Derfel*]

Drop an 'A' on Buff, wait until the off-season. No need to have a Captain on a tanking team.

See what moves happen in the off-season, and then announce it in September.

There is a chance Ladd comes back, in which case he gets the 'C' back, no question.

Agree with all of this except the "no question" part.

 

[hexrae]

Unless Ladd re-signs, I bet they won't formally announce a Captain until either (just a day or two) before the first pre-season game or regular season game. But internally the decision would have been made way prior to either.

Jeez. You realize Ladd was traded and didn't perish in a plane crash, right? Flags at half mast in Winnipeg tomorrow?

No need to name a Captain this season.

 

[BrianFromAIH]

Don't name a captain this year. Just finish the season off, wait for next year. (We all know who it'll be anyways).

 

[Skidooboy]

Wheeler IS the Captain now.

Don't see any reason to wait. Give him the C now.

 

[Brominator]

An oldie but a goodie.

 

[10Ducky10]

I think the players should vote on it but that's me.

Wait until the off-season and give the C to Wheeler and the two As to Buff and Scheif.

 

[spades0faces]

im thinking Wheeler has the upper hand in becoming the C... im thinking Buff could also carry that title.. or if they wanna go with the youth movement.... Scheifele?

 

[GJF]

I'd go with 3 A's for the rest of the season: Wheeler, Buff and Stuart.

Wait until you're certain Ladd is not going to come back and then give the C to Wheeler.
