New Captains for Flyers, Wings, Jackets and Devils

CBJ: Umberger: went to ohio state, fans were calling for him to have the c instead of nash last year

DET: Zetterburg: apparently puckdaddy interviewed datsyuk and he doesn't like having the C

FLA: Stephen Weiss: who else? maybe jovo?

NJD: Kovalchuk: they made the investment into him. Elias is another option but he's up there in age

PHI: Giroux: Face of the team

Columbus Blue Jackets - R.J Umberger

Columbus has no real guy that's been with the team for a while that is a leader. Umberger is the best option that has been in Columbus for a while. They may have to go with a newer/younger guy though for lack of a better option.

Detroit Red Wings - Henrik Zetterberg

Datsyuk is the only other real option and he's played more with Detroit than Zetterberg, but Zetterberg seems more like a natural than Datsyuk and has less of a language barrier.

Philadelphia Flyers - Daniel Briere

I feel like Claude Giroux is too young and inexperienced at this point to be the team captain, so Briere feels like the next best option.

New Jersey Devils - Patrick Elias

I feel like this guy should've been made captain many years ago. He's one of the best forwards the team has ever had; maybe the best ever.

Florida Panthers - Stephen Weiss

Weiss is the clear choice. The only other ones to consider are Jovo for experience or maybe Campbell, but Weiss really should get it.

CBJ- Umberger- after a year or 2 I wouldn't mind them switching it to Dubinsky or Johnson, but their too new to the team

DET- Zetterberg- was thinking Datsyuk, but Zetterberg seems like more of a leader. Kronwall would be my third choice

FLA- Weiss- the teams career point leader. Only other real option is Jovo

NJ- Kovalchuk- would pick Elias but he was asked last year and turned it down. Kovalchuk doesnt strike me as a leader though so maybe Zajac

PHI- Giroux- only problem is he is still quite young and can lose it a bit, other choices would be Briere or Timmonen

FLA - Campbell - Veteran defenseman who is a leader on the team. Weiss is another option, but they may go for the veteran.

DET - Zetterberg - Datsyuk is the only other option, but he has said he doesn't want it, so that really only leaves Zetterberg

PHI - Giroux - He's really come out as a superstar, so he is probably the one they are going to make the leader

CBJ - Umberger - Really the only player on the Jackets long enough to become the new face of the franchise

NJD - Kovalchyuk - He's the one the franchise has invested most heavily in, and seems most logical to be captain, other than Elias. The only thing about Elias is his age, and with his soon to be declining play, he probably wouldn't be captain long.
