Well, someone had to make this poll. With Bergy stepping away, who takes on the vaunted captain's C?
Conventional wisdom has Marchand in line as the longest tenured Bruin (assuming Krejci is also gone.) And despite his reputation he's matured a lot and shown leadership.
But they may want to out it on one of their young superstars who are locked into long-term contracts like McAvoy or Pasta. And I know Carlo has a lot of respect in the room as well.
But do they decide to go without a captain and just dress three alternates until someone steps up to claim it, or do the old Buffalo Sabres thing and just rotate the C among different guys monthly? Plenty of options. If I were a betting man I'd say 60/40 Marchand/3 As.
