RodrigueGabriel Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 To be fair, I don't think Maloney is a good qualifier of what would count as "too cerebral" lol But yea, that's what I mean by I don't think Kreider has the right personality to be a good C. Fair enough. It was in the context of Kreider having said something that had completely eluded him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted July 2, 2019 Author Share Posted July 2, 2019 I think Kreider is probably a better leader behind the scenes than people realize, but I don't think he's got the personality of a captain. Why do you say that about Trouba? 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: No idea. This is one of those rare areas of the game we have near-zero insight into. The vast majority of what makes a great leader goes unseen before fans, so I tend to just defer to the coaching staff on these types of decisions and accept whatever they determine. If I had to venture a guess? Staal or Zibanejad. 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! No Zibanejad. The Rangers are sad enough.

NYR2711 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 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.

Future Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 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.

Gimme a break. That comes with winning. I don't want guys bright eyed and bushy tailed when they lose 8-4 to Ottawa. And aside from that, you think everyone is depressed so you're really not a barometer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Zibanejad I really liked that point late last year when he was really givin Chytil the business about his effort level. The kids definitely listen to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddious Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 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.

Fast doesn't effect the game on the ice enough. He doesn't really do anything. I know he's the nice guy award winner every year or whatever but I don't think he's going to be here after this season.

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 Sent from my [device_name] using http://Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatfrancesa Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Staal seems like the logical choice from a respect and tenure position but with him always seemingly on the buyout block it would be hard to give it to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Give it to Mika. No point in giving it to any of the old guys. Mika, still young, will be here for many years and already looks like a leader for this new generation. What about Trouba?

fletch Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 i go no captain this year. hopefully someone earns the c for the following year. there’s some good young candidates that don’t need the extra scrutiny of the c until they earn it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
