No captain next season. Good decision?! I think so.

That’s just delaying the decision to include a signed Brady.

Good idea but the C has less appeal then I thought it did. Stone turned it down; Alfie and EK walked away from it (so did Yashin)

My guess is they keep the C open to negotiate with Brady if he wants it, if he doesn’t or isn’t interested long term they have Chabot who’d make a great Captain.

Id prefer Chabot as C but see signing Brady long term and dangling the C might be the best strategy

Tkachuk,chabot and brown/ryan with A,s

 

[NyQuil]

It’s a smart move.

I agree, watch them settle those leadership roles for themselves within the room. Someone will step up and grab it by the horns.

Love Tkachuk's game, but he can't lead a team from the penalty box.

Same as Lindros, Bobby Clarke, Scott Stevens, Mark Messier etc.

 

[StoicSensFan]

Bourque, Lidstrom, Potvin, Chara, etc.

I'm not saying it's not possible (even though I said can't- whoops. hyperbole for dramatic effect) but I believe Chabot would be a better quality leader over his career.

Stamkos.

Well Connor Brown hasn't been signed yet. I'm sure he'd be up there as far as the coach is concerned

 

[Clayonator]

I want it to be Tkachuk, but Chabot would be a great choice as well. Having those two as the main contenders, is a fine problem to have. I predict for 2021-22:

C: Tkachuk
A: Chabot
A: White (Home)
A: C.Brown (Away)

Oh man...there's a trip down memory lane.

Is that store still around?

It’s a smart move.

Makes me feel like they dont think they can sign Brady long term.

Meh, when you aren’t really competing, there’s no point trotting some young guy out there to face the music.

They actually just expanded to Ottawa, opened up in the old future shop on Merivale. I just got a good deal on a dishwasher. Made me think of them for this lol

Chabot. Unfortunately I think Brady will ask to be traded

No captain means they aren't committed to anyone long-term Chabot included even thought he's locked up.

Could easily be traded over the years.

Even naming him Captain wont keep him safe. We traded our last 2 captains

Bourque, Lidstrom, Potvin, Chara, etc.

I'm not saying it's not possible (even though I said can't- whoops. hyperbole for dramatic effect) but I believe Chabot would be a better quality leader over his career.

Potvin had over 100 pims for each of his first four seasons. He had 6 fewer pims in his rookie season than Brady has in his first two combined.

Chara wasn’t seen as much more than a giant physical defenseman, borderline enforcer, at Tkachuk’s age.

If anything, those two are examples of why your argument doesn’t work.

Brady’s 181 career pims (1.27 mins per game) aren’t an impediment to having the C.

Chabot cause he is more reserved and calm on the ice

I rather have Brady be Brady and not worry about having to be clean and respectable cause he has the C

I would still wait another year or two before naming someone. No need to add more pressure on the young guys till they have some experience

 

[HSF]

With Chabot being bilingual does anyone if the Sens used it to their advantage to attract or build fans across the river?

100% they should

I would fire my marketing department if that already is not on the table

Chabot and when he leaves Brady can have it.
