I'm down with a Kakko-Lias jobshare.
I still think it's too early to say. We still don't know who's going to be here.
I don't really see a "captain" on this team but again, I don't know what's going on behind closed doors. Hank is really the captain.

No Zibanejad. The Rangers are sad enough. I dont need this guy giving interviews like his dog just fucking died after every game.
wait it out, let a leader rise naturally
Lias Andersson for #AJT2019
When I listened to him in his interview I just get the gut feeling that he's pretty good with the press and also well liked by his teammates. He's young but has a decent amount of experience. He also seems to have a no nonsense approach to the game. Add in a seemingly calm, cool attitude. I've only heard a couple of interviews but I guess to me, Future it just feels like he could be a pretty good candidate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exrp79CdLNA
I agree Phil, it's really a behind the scenes kind of thing we never really get to hear or see until after that fact. I think if they were going to have Staal, it would've happened already. I don't know about Zibanejad...I don't get that "leader" feel from him. Good player, absolutely! Captain??? ....eh...I dunno!
Killin' me man!!!![]()
I don’t know if Zib is the right guy to wear the C. He isn’t really one of the guys the media goes to for long answers. I would have to say Staal would be a good candidate for the captain. He has the locker room presence and is a media guy. Kreider is also a media guy, but I don’t know how he is in the dressing room.
Staal would be a good captain, I think, but we're probably two years too late for that. Unless they see him as a guy they are going to keep around as a veteran leader for a few years - which I doubt - it doesn't make sense to give it to him.

oh Pete, are you Zibanesad?
Lias Andersson for #AJT2019
Zib all day...
Let someone earn it either mid or end of season. No one has stood out as a leader as of last year.
Plus I know it’s a stupid superstition but I feel like as soon as guys get that C they start to suck here.

I'd disagree to an extent I think his work ethic, commitment, and willingness to play any role supports the team mentality. You dont need high end players as captain, remember last year when he was moved up, he was scoring. Hes versatile and one of the hardest workers. Yet I agree its possible this is the last year
