Who is your team's next captain?

[Machinehead]

Probably Drew Doughty, but I'd stan the **** out of Alec Martinez for C if he sticks around.

stan the f*** out

 

[Cats2TheCup]

Probably a 5 year old kid somewhere.

 

[jvcjdudu jcycyxjene]

Gabriel Bourque

 

[redwings25]

larkin no doubt, put an a on little bert. these 2 have crazy work ethic

 

[OKOptimistic]

Larkin and Duchene

 

[FoxyClean]

Whos the 1st overall supposed to be in 2028?

With the way your franchise's luck has gone, probably the next Gretzky.

 

[FoxyClean]

Should be:

Kreider (C)
Zibanejad (A)
Shattenkirk (A)

But since apparently the most important factors are point production and how long you've been there regardless of performance, it'll probably be:

Zibanejad (C)
Staal (A)
Kreider (A)

 

[Paul4587]

All of the Ducks media seem to think it’s Fowler. I’m hoping it’s someone who is less of a mental midget.

Hopefully it’s a long time away anyway, Getzlaf if he stays healthy should age well enough to justify at least another couple of years after his current contract.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Matt Cullen, obviously.

Its tough, Crosby's contract actually out lasts Jake Guentzel's contract. Malkin is a year older and Letang is the same age as Crosby.

If Crosby, Malkin, and Letang all retire around the same time, the Pens need to re-sign Jake Guentzel to another few years and by then, he'll be 32.

So the future Penguins Captain is either him or whomever the Pens draft and develop to take over when Sid is gone.

Maybe Kasper Bjorkqvist or Hallander? Who knows.

 

[DougieSmash]

Aho is obvious choice but why not Svechnikov.

 

[beakerboy]

I'd guess Monahan over Tkachuk.

I love Tkachuk's passion but I have a really hard time seeing the discussion after a scrum and the guy who provoked it talking to the refs, chewing his mouthguard with his smug punch me in the face look, turning out well.

 

[Pens x]

Jake Guentzel

 

[KingsHockey24]

Kyle Clifford

 

[jvcjdudu jcycyxjene]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Alexander Kerfoot

 

[Khrox]

I'd guess Monahan over Tkachuk.

I love Tkachuk, and he will definitely provide some leadership presence, but I think he's best suited to the A not the C. Monahan I feel is the most likely candidate, with Backlund as the dark-horse for it.

 

[saintunspecified]

For NYI if Lee doesn't resign, I'm not really certain. I think the next in line would be Johnny Boychuk, but I wouldn't do it because he needs to be spelled, and I want a captain to play every night. Barzal isn't ready yet. It's either Pulock or Toews, but I think I'd go with Toews. He's just a natural leader.

Cizikas

I really don't think that's his personality.

 

[SI90]

I really don't think that's his personality.

Well let’s just hope we don’t have to find out and it’s still Lee

 

[um]

If Ovechkin is going for Gretzky's goal record than someone not on the roster yet.

 

[Iceman]

Tom Wilson

You think he lasts that long?

 

[BlueDream]

If Pietrangelo went somewhere else, it would be O’Reilly. Schenn runner up.

 

[saintunspecified]

You think he lasts that long?

Having a captain miss 1/4 of the year due to suspension seems to fit the Capitals past.

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

Personally I would love if it was Marner.

 

[Broad Street Buddies]

How I see it in Philly for the next generation:

C : Couturier
A : Konecny
A : Provorov
