Who will be your team's next captain?

[AKL]

Parise

 

[edguy]

Curtis Lazar or Clark MacArthur, both play a superlative two-way game.

if it were to happen tomorrow i'll say chris phillips. long term i'd go for Lazar or Kyle Turris

 

[1989]

For Calgary it's got to be one of Monahan, Bennett, Brodie… outside chances for Jooris or Ferland depending on how they develop.

 

[Mr Positive]

For Oilers, I say RNH.

If it were today it would be Hall, but RNH is catching up to his quality of play. By the time Ference loses the captaincy, I bet RNH will be our most important player. He's also a very level-headed guy who would be good captain material. He plays a strong two-way game too, which is a great example for the whole team. Hall has that too, but his play comes from his physical gifts like his speed.

 

[BoltSTH]

For the Bolts Stamkos will be the captain for many years (sorry Leafs fans), so his replacement may not be in the system yet.

 

[Bgav]

Bieksa

 

[VaSabresFan]

Zemgus Girgensons.

I don't think you'll find many people in Buffalo who doubt that. He's born for the job.

This for Buffalo

 

[PhoenyX]

Honestly...Lindholm for the Ducks. He is so good and so mature for his age.

 

[IM Clutcm]

Ekblad or Gudbranson.

 

[tsujimoto74]

Zemgus Girgensons.

 

[KPower]

Stamkos or Tavares.

But most likely both as co-captains.

 

[Machinehead]

Some unfortunate soul. Seems like every Rangers captain gets riddled with injuries and starts playing like **** as soon as they get the C. I wanna know who this loser wearing 27 is and what he's done with McDonagh.

 

[Leafs87]

Lupul or bozak IMO

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Trick question. Sharks don't have a captain to trade or have retire so the question can't be answered from San Jose. lol

 

[leafsfuture]

If Leafs traded Phaneuf right now, honestly it might be Bozak. For all the criticism he gets, there is no doubt of the following:

1. Bozak is well liked, maybe the most popular guy on the Leafs
2. Hard working kid. Almost never made college, let alone the NHL, but has worked his butt off
3. Top 6 player
4. Plays whatever is asked of him

As for 3-4 years, I definitely see Rielly as a possibility. Kadri is a bit too full of himself, and a bit of a lone wolf on the team.

 

[Jetabre]

Probably Wheeler for the immediate future without Ladd.

I'd say Trouba, Scheifele or Morrissey are all good candidates for captaincy down the road.

 

[Hockey Gangsta]

Kopitar

But I would like to see Doughty with the C.

 

[FlyTimmo]

I think Giroux will be captain for a long time, but Scott Laughton appears like he could be next in line. He reminds me a lot of a young Mike Richards.

 

[islesfan186]

Stamkos or Tavares.

But most likely both as co-captains.

Is that when they both leave to become Leafs lol?

 

[CornKicker]

should be Nugent-Hopkins or Hall but judging by edmontons love of grinding bums as captains it will probably be matt hendricks

 

[HOLDITHERE*]

John Carlson.

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Keith. With Seabrook getting the other A.
Although I don't know why these guys would still be here by the time Jonny is gone

 

[StLHokie]

Probably Pietrangelo or Schwartz

 

[Kegsey]

Pavelski

 

[TheOllieC]

J. Staal or Faulk
