Quaider? f***ing 40 games with the team? An "ok" defenseman? Come on ... Skjei? Rather unproven kid for capitancy of the NYR?!
A transitional captian? What is this even? You don't just declare a captain for a season or two and then strip him of the captaincy or give it someone else.
It is a position of identification for the team, the fans, the entire franchise. This is important and to be chosen wisely and you want to give it Quaider or Skjei?!
There are only 5 suitable players really: Kreider (homegrown beast), Zibby (MVP), Zucc (homegrown legend), Staal (homegrown weed), Hank (the true captain).
