They should strip Jack of the C and give it to someone else before trading him. Just to make him squirm a little.

Has anyone on the team won a cup? If not, sign anyone that has and give it to him.

A vet like Okposo or Girgenosns is fine, but if the whole idea is we're starting over maybe an outside hire sends a better message?

I think it’s particularly rare and difficult for an outside player to come in and immediately fulfill that role in an effective, meaningful way.

And on these boards it’s an extra frustrating discussion to have, when so many think that players over 25 are worthless. You’d think after watching players like Kane and Risto—great physical athletes with rocks for brains—fail to really succeed on that alone, some would start to recognize the other important qualities in hockey players such as intelligence and experience.

So anyway, to your point, if the organization could acquire an outside veteran to come be a leader, it’s going to be tricky. But it would be a worthwhile pursuit.

In his current form when you look at interviews and other media pieces. I'm talking personality wise, certainly not playstyle. He's still new to NA and very young so I'm sure he'll grow into a stronger role on that front in the future but doesn't initially strike me as that guy. If he does I would expect it to be a more 'follow my lead' over vocal inspiration. All subjective speculation of course since nobody here is in the room, but then again that's what this thread is all about anyways, I guess.

No cup winners but we've got Stanley Cup finalist Cody Eakin

If Dahlin signs for 8 years give it to him. If not give it to Okposo or Girgensons.
