Speculation: Who gets the A if Pav leaves?

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Yeah pretty sure it's a gimme that Abdelkader will get Pasha's A after he retires. And he would deserve it.

 

[Ezekial]

If it goes to Ericsson, it's gotta be Swedish Mafia, right?

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

This thread is depressing the **** out of me

 

[ShelbyZ]

Kyle Quincey.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

Gonna be Abdelkader or Ericsson... Beginning of a new era

Ericsson. I can't wait till we look back on that

Dead wings era 2: chapter one. Captain ericsson

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

We look certain to have an absurdly Michigan lead group at some point.

If you look at our contracted guys and guys we expect to stick around long-term with leadership grouping....

Larkin, Abdelkader, DeKeyser and Glendening all have huge leadership qualities or importance. Not that DeKeyser doesn't have leadership qualities but he is probably the weakest in this regard but then again with Ouellet not making the gains we need in skating he seems like our clear cut best D-man until a trade is hopefully made and perhaps an A type guy.

Kronwall and Z aren't actually going anywhere immediately but there is a chance our three letter wears are actually all Michiganders in the near future.

Ouellet seemed like a big leadership guy, but he needs to make a much bigger push onto the roster. Nyquist was groomed initially but not sure what they are doing there now. His locker placement and that kind of stuff sort of tipped it early but maybe they have gone another way.

Ericsson has had it in he past in these scenarios. But I really do believe Abby has earned that A and should be the guy right now if Dats heads back to Russia next year.

 

[RedWingsfan55]

Abby is first guess.

Larkin is actually my second guess and will be the next captain.

Or ummmmmmmmmmm maybe dekeyser or green.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Kyle Quincey.

That explains my feelings on that. Will be extremely disappointed if he is even on the team next season.

 

[Henkka]

A like Abdelkader.

 

[PelagicJoe]

Abby most likely. If not him, then Larkin.

 

[KJoe88]

Why not Larkin? Prepare him for the C... because, ya know, he's obviously going to wear it after Z.

Abby isn't a bad choice, though.

 

[Martinez]

Helmer

 

[Lgw]

That explains my feelings on that. Will be extremely disappointed if he is even on the team next season.

I agree he doesn't get the A but he has been one of our best d men the last few
Weeks.

 

[Reddwit]

Abby. If they want to get a jump, then Larkin.

 

[ShelbyZ]

That explains my feelings on that. Will be extremely disappointed if he is even on the team next season.

I'm afraid of how much worse the team will be defensively without him...

 

[Detroit Swed Wings]

Justine will get the A for sure. I actually don't have a problem with that, I mean Franzén wore it for a while.

 

[Leronziia]

Abby is the logical choice, which means that it'll be Ericsson.

 

[DanZ]

Abby. I don't see the need for giving it to Larkin yet. He can still learn to be a leader without having a letter on his sweater.

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

Abby is the logical choice, which means that it'll be Ericsson.

That's how I feel about either option.

 

[Avery Rule]

Stamkos

 

[theYman]

Stamkos

Would be nice. But probably be Richards
