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.
Wait till offseason.
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.
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.
Jeez. You realize Ladd was traded and didn't perish in a plane crash, right? Flags at half mast in Winnipeg tomorrow?
Wheeler IS the Captain now.
Don't see any reason to wait. Give him the C now.
