Phil Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Makes total sense. Still have no idea why they delayed this a year. He's been captain for at least that long based on every beat writer saying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravesy Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 12 minutes ago, Pete said: Pretty awful decision. He's overpaid by a couple of mill, but with the contract being what it is I don't see how making him captain is the wrong decision at this point. He's clearly a leader and definitely led by example in the playoffs. I have no problem with it at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I remember last offseason when this got discussed for a million pages that I suggested Trouba. I really did think it would be Kreider but clearly the team has a lot of positive things to say about Trouba. I do hope he can help kinda mentor Schneider a bit.

jsm7302 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I think he led quite a bit in the playoffs. Just gotta wonder how Zib and Kreids feel; would love to see their text thread when this came out. Hope it doesn't mess with the chemistry of the team. Also, hope this is the right choice to onto the next level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a team that has said they are full of leaders, hence the 6 A’s last year Trouba has been up and down but he’s definitely a player who would lead them into battle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I wonder if Kreider turned it down and gave the Rangers his blessing by naming Trouba instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sod16 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Would have preferred CK. This may complicate the necessary salary dump when Trouba's full NTC expires. Most posters seem to hate Uncle Larry, but he gets more scoops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Naming a defensemen as a captain in the past hasn't been that great (Leetch and McDonagh). I think he can handle it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsley Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Fine by me. My guess, others secretively turned down the offer. That’s a lot of added pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valriera Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 This is a worthy captain of this team. We are blessed to have others in the team too, but Trouba is as worthy as all of them. also it’s not permanent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
