oldnews Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Well, you created a thread to suggest Bieksa was doing charitable things, raising a family and being funny on twitter and in interviews to try and supplant Henrik as captain. That's arguably a pretty suggestive thread that really isn't about a discussion - unless it's a discussion about how you're applying to become Tony Gallagher's replacement when he retires.

Baggins Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 If he had the balls to go after Keith or Runty in Boston ya maybe. If that happened in Smyl's day he would have waited for the next shift, or next game they met and gone right after them. That's what a captain does. By no means is Bieksa not a very good player and an important part of the team, but he just doesn't bring the grit he used to when he started in the league and I think the next captain on the nucks needs that. Henrik is so elite that it doesn't matter but we don't have an elite guy to fill that spot then you need a guy who leads the team with emotion. One could argue Hammer is elite on D and could play that role and I could see that. My thought, groom Kassian. He will have 5 years with the Sedin's still around, by that point he will be 26. Develop his offensive game by letting him play top 2 lines. Allow him to unleash his temper, AV tried to keep it in check, its an asset, it intimidates, thats part of the game. And have Henrik, Daniel, Hammer coach him on how to lead in the room, off the ice, and on. My hope is that Zack is the next captain of this team, and if he is, it will mean he has turned into a beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linden Legend Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Good point. I could see Kassian, Guance, or Jensen make a case for the "C" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanCityScout Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 well if you follow your history Lack and Schneids are the front runners all kidding aside Kevin Bieksa would make a awesome captain but why try to fix something that is not broken?
