Gallagher would seem to be the obvious choice... not sure he's the best choice however.

 

[Halakitlikethat]

I voted Suzuki. Turning the page to the new core.

 

[Legend123]

Please let it be suzuki
I guarantee u all the young players we have on our team and system are looking up to him

 

[CoopersFalls]

My choice: Suzuki

Who it will be: Gallagher

 

[overlords]

It'll be Gallagher so hopefully he learns not to suck in the playoffs one day soon.

 

[Hacketts]

I don't believe is Weber gone for a second.

The guy bleeds hockey, once the injuries heal up he'll be skating at Brossard.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

No one until the start of next season at the earliest.

The problem is the injuries won’t heal up.

 

[BehindTheTimes]

I vote Gallagher. Let Suzuki to focus 100% on his game.

 

[SallyBalls]

its gotta be kulak....

 

[RationalExpectations]

Take Gallagher, whatever you say about him scoring goals, he knows how to motivate this team. Suzuki is the future but still too young, he is going to be official 1C next year don't add more pressure

 

[Estimated_Prophet]

I don't see any of the kids as captain material now or in the future. Some people have voted for Suzuki but he is very introverted and a bit of an odd dude. If Harris really blossoms I could see it being him down way the road or possibly even Guhle.

Gallagher and Petry are the front runners by a landslide if and when the organization decides to remove that title from Weber.

 

[Yannman]

Perry until we are certain of Shea’s retirement. Then, Gallagher.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Gally ainec

 

[LeHab]

Habs will probably go without a C for next season.

 

[ROEN]

Someone voted Drouin ... esti

 

[Team_Spirit]

Has to be Petry imo

Re-signed twice as a UFA. Saved us in the Vegas series coming back with a broken finger.

Gally can't be captain his role is being a sparkplug/agitator and the refs hate him.

 

[HostileCapSpace]

Gonna catch some flak but I don't see Gallagher as a captain. "Pests" (talking reputation here) usually don't become captain - refs simply don't respect them. Then again, MB has a hard on for him so it's quite possible he's next in line. He certainly has the team to heart so I'll give him that. To me a A is perfect for him.

I would wait at least a year without a captain then see what happens with Weber and re-evaluate (maybe give it to Gallagher then). Just run with three As in the meantime.

You should look up his injuries and what surgery he needs. He basically needs his leg to be fused with his foot to even have a normal life and he has put off the surgery for two years now. I would love Weber back but the guy needs to think about life after hockey.

 

[Garry Valk]

As odd as it sounds, I’d lean Corey Perry.

 

[Habs Icing]

If they sign Perry for a year, I'd give him the C.

Won't he be too old in 2035?

Nobody this year but it will eventually go to Gallagher
