Dr. Jimmy Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 I feel sorry for whomever it is, last couple of guys game went to shit once the C went on their chest....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Falco Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 They shouldn?t give the captaincy to anyone if he?s traded. If they?re rebuilding have someone earn it through actual leadership and character. No sense in slapping the C on someone just because there?s a vacancy.

Long live the King Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 No one will wear the C. Hank will be the unofficial captain until 2019-2020 when the C returns to #24...

Phil Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 No one. They'll roll with alternates until the right candidate surfaces. Though, if Nash did return this summer, I'd be OK giving him the C to accompany it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThirtyONE Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 We don't even know who's going to be on the team. How can we know who the captain is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4EverRangerFrank Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 No rush to name a ?C? and I concur with the posters saying that it hasn?t exactly been a career positive lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I could easily see Lias getting it if he makes the team. Not like McDavid in the "he is our future so you the captain" way, but from what Ive heard and read he sounds like a winner and a good captain. He also captained the Sweden U20 in the WJC.

paddynyc Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 No one if McD is a goner and we'll go with the 3 A's for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistercosmic Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 It will be hard enough to find three A's for the next season. Sent from my [device_name] using http://Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Future Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Staal. Give it to him the last couple of years until one of the new young guys is ready to assume the role. My bet would be Lias, but who knows. As much as he gets bagged on, Staal is solid enough and, as probably the last holdover from this era, he'll be a really important figure in this locker room.

Guest Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Staal. Give it to him the last couple of years until one of the new young guys is ready to assume the role.

This was what I was coming to post. There's no sense in buying him out now or trading him with retained salary because you're not going to get enough value out of him. So keep him on the roster, slap the C on him for this year and next, then in 2020, we can readdress this. Maybe he keeps it, maybe he gets bought out then and a new captain is ready to take his place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Even with Mac wearing the "C", did it really matter? Mac is a very good defenseman, but as a captain....eh? He's not exactly a Messier, or even Sid in my book. If Mac is dealt, which I hope he is, so we can get this transformation rockin' already, someone should have to EARN that "C". Until then, Hank is the unquestioned leader of this team, no matter who wears a letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slobberknocker Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 i thought the worst thing they did was give mac the C. don't think he's been the same player since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Liljegren (1st), Leivo, 2018 1st, 2018 2nd, conditional 2019 1st that becomes 2019 2nd if Leafs don't win Cup or re-sign him for Ryan McDonagh and change.

The way he combines his speed with strong puck handling skills makes him a quite spectacular player to watch. Decision making is at times a bit questionable and there is some room for improvement when it comes to his defensive game. If he puts everything together, he should become a high scoring defenseman thanks to his hockey sense, quick release and strong passing game.

Phil Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Leivo is one of their better AHL forwards who can't seem to crack their insanely deep roster. If not him, you can theoretically swap him for any number of depth guys on the bubble -- Soshnikov, maybe Kapanen (who is keeping Leivo outside looking in), Andreas Johnsson, or Miro Aaltonen.

Giacomin Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Nah, Phil. That package is not getting McD. Screw Leivo. Add Dermott and maybe Kapanen? 2018 1st Lilegren Dermott Kapanen Even if we throw in a 3rd, Leafs won't do it. Would be so exciting if it could happen. Plus, what about McD's injury? Lowers his value for now, I'd guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Head Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Love Mac, but correct not much of a captain and no one is like Mess On rangers In the history of the game i think he?s a bit overrated Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Respecttheblue Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 If they don?t go with 3As, and if they keep Zuccarello, then Zucc. But I like the way MILLER has been a standup guy after the game; he talks sense; he plays the game the right way; I think he may be the man, unless they go all in on someone like Tavares.
