Everyone thinks that lol. I would see a doctor if I?ve followed Rangers for more then 1 month and think Howden is a good Captain for this team.

tphilly5 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Another year and we will be waiting for Zib to sign an extension before naming him Captain. If he was really Captain material, it probably would have happened by now. Kreider seems like more of a Captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooksBurner Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 is there any risk in making Staal captain for now and then see what happens next year? No risk. I really like this idea. The question is, do you choose him or Howden? Nobody has mentioned Lemieux as Captain yet either. He leads with an edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been on the Rangers for 9 seasons, 7 of which full time lol Kreider did have the expiring contract and it seemed unlikely he would get resigned. IMO Kreider would be more consistently engaged as Captain. Zib and Panarin seem like free spirited types that would take the responsibility as a burden. Fun to speculate about, obviously those in the locker room know what is best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Hard to be captain when you take 25+games off a year, like Kreider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew a Penalty Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Zib and Panarin seem like free spirited types that would take the responsibility as a burden. Nothing leads me to believe this about Zibanejad. The qualifying round was the first time in two years where I really found myself asking where Zibanejad was. He's a consistently engaged player. Significantly more so than Kreider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The motor that existed throughout the year was gone in those 3 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I think Mika has said he dont want to(thats why he?s not been named captain already) and they are looking for other options. I think they end up going only A?s for one more season or give it to Staal (or maybe even Hank) for their last season and then Laf takes over when he?s played a full season.

No way this kid gets the C at 20 years old. To even speculate this, is outrageous imo. Let him get in here and do something before we even begin this convo.

I dont understand why they would drag it so long if the guy was already here and I dont see them adding a veteran and giving him the C right away either.

Where is this narrative coming from? Have we forgotten that the McDonagh trade was only two years ago? They've only gone two seasons without a captain. Is it crazy that they wanted for a leader to naturally develop within the room? Zibanejad has been here four seasons. The first two of which were with someone else serving as captain.

Drew a Penalty Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 What narrative? Its been two and a half years. Thats a long time without a captain. It really isn't. They were never going to name one in season when McDonagh was dealt. So it's been two years in which they've been rebuilding. Like I said, it's almost like they wanted a leader to emerge throughout that rebuild. What's the rush? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted August 13, 2020 Author Share Posted August 13, 2020 Certainly not when the team isn't competitive. They're not lacking in leadership, regardless of whether or not anyone is wearing the C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
