Ozzy Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Your guess is as good as mine with this one! As you guys know, last year we I think 5 assistant captains. This team will most likely be naming a guy to wear the "C" this year and going forward. Question is: Who do we think should get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Heaven Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Z or Kreider, i guess it all depends if Kreider is on the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 go with 14 "A"s this year like Mites. Rotate through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoMinutesForNothing Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Kreider. He's gonna get re-signed and he's the hardest worker plus he speaks Russian for all the new guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Kreider. He's gonna get re-signed and he's the hardest worker plus he speaks Russian for all the new guys. Ah, that's true! I forgot he knows Russian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted July 2, 2019 Author Share Posted July 2, 2019 I question Kreider's leadership. He's about as reliable as a rain dance. I'd like to see Trouba take on that role. I don't think he'll get it since he's the new guy, but I think he has that "Captain" quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tphilly5 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Zib or Panarin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long live the King Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Panarin's never worn a letter in the NHL and I don't believe he speaks much English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he'll get it since he's the new guy, but I think he has that "Captain" quality. 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?

jjweimar Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I'd say Staal, Zib, or Trouba, Fast would be a possibility Sent from my [device_name] using http://Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodrigueGabriel Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 At some point I listened to Maloney shoot down the idea that Kreider would either be named captain or be a good captain because he's too intellectual/cerebral for the dressing room gestalt. For me, it's Zib all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Kreider's not even in the convo. I don't think they name one this year. If they do, Zib or Staal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

ThirtyONE Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
