tphilly5 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Going with all A’s might be best until Staal, Hank, Kreider move on. Zib does not seem like a captain type to me. Kind of a free spirit goof ball. Being captain might be a burden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I'm not sure they go with all 'A's again. It's been 18 months since they've had a captain. I bet they name one and Mika seems the likeliest choice at the moment. Plus with such a young locker room expected this year, I bet Quinn would welcome having one guy who's bought into his system representing him among the other players.

ThirtyONE Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Wonder if Panarin and Trouba are in consideration considering their terms are the longest and Panarin in particular has an opportunity to play a big role in helping the Russian invasion.

But he's going into his fifth season and still needed an interpetor. Trouba would be a great choice after a couple of years maybe but there are younger Cs out there. Excited to find out.

It would be INCREDIBLY presumptuous to just slap the C on either of them. It's a rare thing to see a guy just come in and take the C anywhere. Off the top of my head, the only example I think I know of is Messier to NYR. Maybe Gretzky to LA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slobberknocker Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 i'd just as soon give it to staal. let mika concentrate on filling the basket and taking another step forward messier was a different breed of cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangersIn7 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 An extremely useful - some might even say critical - language to master when trying to lead an NHL locker room imho ;) Not a lot of people know this, but it was Messier?s masterful knowledge of Tolkien Elvish, which led to the Cup in 94. Fun fact though: Jari Kurri learned English in part due to watching Happy Days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 El capitan? If the Rangers determine that Mika Zibanejad, blossoming into the player GM Jeff Gorton foresaw when acquiring him from Ottawa in exchange for Derick Brassard in July of 2016, can handle the added responsibility, the “C” will go to No. 93. If management believes it might become a burden, the Blueshirts will again go with multiple alternates. https://nypost.com/2019/09/11/the-biggest-rangers-questions-with-training-camp-beginning/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThirtyONE Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Here's a question though. Were Kreider already signed for the next 6 seasons. Would he be getting the "C"? Or would it still be Mika's to lose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or would it still be Mika's to lose? Good question! I dunno what it is about Kreider, but I just don't feel a lot of leadership from him. Then again I'm not in the locker room....but I don't see much from him on the bench. Not to mention I feel like he takes a lot of games at 1/2 speed. But that's just my observation.

BrooksBurner Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 They have been pumping up Zibanejad all preseason. Talking about his skill, commitment, and really highlighting his leadership. Seems to me they are setting this up to name him the Captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirtyONE Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 There's absolutely no doubt about it at this point. He'll officially be announced at during the introductions -- but I bet it leaks before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
