Yukoncanuck87 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Man there are a huge amount of posts with excellent reasoning for players to be named alternates. Well as we've all seen before players get hurt and alternates change throughout the season. Horvat will get his chance this season to be an alternate, but I think it's Tanev or Burrows to start the season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I'd wait another year to give Horvat an A. I think Tanev would be a good pick to replace Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He deserves it. 100% agree and think this is the right thing to do. Horvat the year after. But who knows they should have done the "right thing" and had " the mighty quinn" as our intro song for games too in honour of Pat Q! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirotashi Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Was not thinking Rodin would even be a choice, I was so surprised to se his name on the list I just had to pick him. But Horvat is the obvious choice, or Hutton, or Sutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrashNBash Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I'm going with Sutter, he's a solid 2 way guy, experienced and an excellent speaker. Has leadership quality and if he stays healthy he'll be showing everyone his character on the ice. Gudbranson is my second choice. Bo needs to concentrate on Bo this year IMHO.

I'm sure he is respected in the room, but to say "he's got the dressing room" would imply that he is the most respected leader in the room, more than even the Sedins. I doubt that's true.

I guess I put that badly, obviously the Sedins are the dominant force in the room, but with the new arrivals, especially the younger players coming in I think Burrows stands for a lot of what is important to a team going forward.

BowtieCanuck Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Horvat just gives me a vibe like he lives for this team and thats what Linden was (and very well may still be). Thats the kind of guy you want to have a letter on his jersey. Thats why I think he should have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead44 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Burrows. Following year Gudbranson, Eriksson or Sutter (earned). Then Horvat (I am a big fan but he is still very young, and we have other great choices) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertuzzi4eva Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Horvat My reasons are simple, This kid is a natural born leader, he has shown his desire and commitment to the game already , his progression is good and his numbers are there . Making him an alternate now would be a smart move giving him time to adapt to the role of Captain . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCerebral1 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Horvat, is the guy for me. He seems like he is in the center of their sort of weird rebuild. He has leadership qualities like Kesler did in his prime (before becoming a malcontent). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris12345 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Gubdranson. I'd follow that guy for sure. Plays the right way and doesn't pull hair. Haven't seen him a lot but reminds me of William Mitchelle. Bos time will come. Still early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
