Odd. Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 So now that Bieksa's gone to Anaheim, he leaves behind his "A". Pretty straightforward question. Which player do you guys want the "A" being handed over to? I'm going with Bo Horvat/Alex Edler/Alex Burrows as possible candidates for the "A". Poll away.

Junkyard Dog Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Burrows. No brainer IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Burrows is the logical option in that group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baer. Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Tanev. He's calm, cool and great in the looker room. Longest contract on the team too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatedkid666 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I know a lot of people are going to say Horvat but there is a lot more deserving guys then him. 1. Edler ( Vetran, been apart of the team for a long time, experienced, and our number 1 dman ) 2. Hamhuis ( Same reasons as edler, plus he is a very good leader ) 3. Burrows ( No explanation needed ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrows ( No explanation needed ) Pretty much the general consensus. Obviously Burrows for me would also be a fantastic option. Basically those guys you and I have mentioned are my front runners.

AriGold Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Tanev. He's calm, cool and great in the looker room. Longest contract on the team too. How do you know that ? I would take him for the silent type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.53 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Either Burrows or Hamhuis. My personal philosophy is to always at least have 1 defender with an A, so I would go with Hamhuis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spotted Zebra Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I really don't want Burr wearing a letter on this team. Hamhuis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekey Pete Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Horvat will be wearing a letter soon, but now isn't the time. Let him focus on becoming a pro first, and continuing along with his development Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaNuCkSLoUiE23 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 It's going to Burr, but I would love to see Bo with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piggy Bank Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 After the Sedin's, Horvat is likely to be captain. I expect Burr or Tanev to get KB3's 'A'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nas19 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Dorsett would be the guy I think is first. Then Burr then Hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsiders Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Burrows or Dorsett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spotted Zebra Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Why not? His reputation around the league, whether it be hair pulling, finger biting, or kneeing someone in the groin, isn't exactly flattering. You can say reputation doesn't matter, but when a ref looks over and sees "Burrows" instead of another name, that is likely a penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MPHSlapShot Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Horvat. The glut of young players that are going to start braking into the lineup are going to need a voice. Horvat should be that voice IMHO. The kid is a natural leader. He gives it his all every shift and is a pretty good bet to be the next captain of this team. I'd break him into a leadership role right now. He can learn from Hank, Danny, Burr, Hammer and the other leaders on this team, while being the guy to represent the next wave of Canucks going forward.

William_Clarkson Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Hard to say. During Bieksa's injury Hamhuis & Burrows split it, but I could see them trying a younger player because it's a new era or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
