HockeyIntangibles: Who is the Leafs Next Captain?

The Toronto Maple Leafs have been without a captain since defenseman Dion Phaneuf was traded to the Ottawa Senators 3 years ago. Phaneuf had spent parts of 7 seasons with Toronto Maple Leafs in what was ultimately...

We're about half way through this season now and I don't think we're going into the next one without a captain.

Rielly or Tavares - I guess. Marner is too small

 

[Vaive50]

Tavares with the C, Marleau and Kadri with the A's. Tavares will not let the stress of being Captain effect his game as it might with Matthews and Reilly, they're young and can be Captains later, let them worry about their game.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

It with be Matthews and announced the same day they hand him an 8 year deal.

If they were going to give it to JT they would have already done it.

Matthews C
Rielly A
JT A
Magic A

Matthews.

Use the C as a bargaining chip when resigning him.

 

[Suntouchable13]

It should be Auston. But I wish captains were done away with in hockey. Why does anyone need this extra pressure?

 

[Bronxxx]

I really don’t know. I know it won’t be Nylander. Hyman would be a better choice.

Man are we obsessed with this.

 

[LeafFever]

Why do people care?
We don't need a captain. It's only an issue to decide who takes the cup from Bettman.

Again?

Its obviously Matthews

 

[Menzinger]

There’s no way it’s anybody other than Matthews

 

[Notsince67]

I thought Matthews was going to Arizona

 

[Once]

Zaitsev.

 

[Marrner]

It will be Matthews..
Great composure for a kid and I believe he can handle the pressure. JT will help him with that.

 

[Al14]

Matthews should be made the captain, but, only after he signs a long term deal to stay in Toronto.

 

[Marrner]

Zaitsev.

Hahaha good for a laugh

 

[lovemyleafs]

Matthews - C
Tavares - A
Rielly - A
Kadri - A

 

[The Man with a Plan]

Matthews should be made the captain, but, only after he signs a long term deal to stay in Toronto.

Introduce him and Mitch the same day, give AM the C and Mitch the A along with their shiny new long term cap friendly deals

 

[HellasLEAF]

John Tavares

It with be Matthews and announced the same day they hand him an 8 year deal.

Matthews C

Magic A

Agreed. The options really are Matthews or Rielly IMO.
