Laheys Liquor Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Horvat, but I could see Tanev or Gudbranson getting it as well Its clear Horvat is already a leader and high character guy, destined for the C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILL BILL NECRO Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Give it to burrows for his last season.... He deserves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Neilsons Towel Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 My vote was for Bo Horvat for the following reasons: I believe he has excellent leadership skills He works hard and leads by example Very mature for his age/experience level He seems to be the leader among the younger players I believe he can handle the pressure IMO, he could be the future captain and I think they should start him down that road now to gain leadership experience before he inherits the "C" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cocolocci Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Burr !! A (hopefully) lifetime Canuck behind the twins the oldest canuck (playing for us) his last year of his contract (maybe last season of his career?) experience leader passion a little "Thank you" to him end of the discussion "Burrows, do we really need him?"

-Vintage Canuck- Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I think Bo Horvat is a pretty mature kid. If he is likely to be the next captain of the Canucks, we should give him the 'A', in which he will gradually acquire leadership skills that will come in use when becoming the face of this franchise. By the looks of it, there is no way Jim Benning is trading him. He is the real deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tavrohorvat53 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Definitely Bo and maybe the captaincy in a few years time. He exudes character, professionalism, drive, motivation, the skill, and he is a great teammate most importantly. He lets his on ice play do the talking and always shows up to play. Theres definitely something special about Bo. Maybe the way he arrived into the organization? Maybe it's his winning pedigree (back to back memorial cups) or clutch goal scoring in crucial games ? Maybe it's because he was truly first real promising prospect. It took a lot to get him, but he has been been outstanding in his two years as a pro. Whatever it is, as a young kid coming in he's handled the pressure and spot light with a lot of poise and has shown glimpses of brilliance. To have someone with his drive and motivation leading the team & the future Canucks will bode well for our organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsiders Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Horvat, however a win win would be Burrows gets it this year Horvat next or they share it? Hornet home games Burrows road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaBamba Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I picked Anton Rodin to be a bigger Jackass then the guy who picked Jake Virtanen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Tanev is probably the logical choice as he will be on the ice more than anyone else at 5v5 and PK. Also has been with the club a long time and is well regarded guy by the referees from what I can see. Main issue is he's not that vocal after games etc. Bo Horvat is probably the smart choice for a FWD. Good leader, works hard, what's not to like?

Rush17 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 On this topic. Hank was on tsn 1040 today aND was asked this question. He believes having a younger voice is important in the leadership. Says someone who is 15 years younger but said it's up too the coaches and he believes the players will be asked. I kinda botched his comments but give this a listen https://m.soundcloud.com/tsn-radio-vancouver/henrik-sedin-joins-the-midday-show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas19 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I think Burr. Can't go wrong with several guys tho. We have quite a few character guys on this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysACanuckFan Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 My vote goes to Horvat because 1) he displays excellent leadership skills on and off the ice. 2) He possesses a good work ethic by working, and competing hard. 3) He would be a great leader and mentor for the younger players.

khay Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Gudbranson or Horvat but chose Horvat. He's probably our next captain so we might as well have him start out as an assistant captain before eventually handing over the C once Henrik retires.

5Fivehole0 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 There are 3 word errors that I cannot stand in life... Sorry in advance... Turrets being spelled or pronounced "turrent" When people say "Member?", instead of remember And finally, when people say "Assistant Captain"... It's alternate. It has always been Alternate Captain. I don't know where assistant came from but it's wrong >.>. Sorry again... End Rant BoHo gets the A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainCanuck001 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 The team is in a transition phase, so why not give to one of the younger guys. Most likely Bo but Tanev wouldn't be a bad choice either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horvat because he has been here longer, and Gudbranson because it is good to have a D as one of your guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmahyoung Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Somebody picked Phillip Larsen haha. He's never played a game for the Canucks and may not even crack the opening roster.... Silly goose.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
