Avicii Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=404504 Really? EDIT: Oops, didn't know Hejduk relieved his role.. But still, over Duchene, Stastny or even Johnson??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuckFanLivingInCalgary:( Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Not sure I understand... Just wanted to take the title away from Crosby I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kacholu Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 He has shown that he is mature and captain material. Might be a bit young to give him the responsibility but then again he has the ability to carry a team on his shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JensenFan2011 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 he is a great choice actually... he was one of their best players and showed the most heart out of anyone on their team i so wish nucks could have gotten him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kass9 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 This was done only for one reason, taking one title away from Crosby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avicii Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 I can say i don't watch many Avs games and i don't know much about the kid, but is he really captain material at age 19? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Aerosex Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Captain material, but he's 19 and isn't that incredible a player. Not sure I like this move at this point in time, but Landeskog is still a stud so it could work out. I just think it's too much pressure, they should let him develop more before throwing this at him...there's plenty of guys more experienced than him on that team who could wear the C with respect.

Brad Marchand Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Landeskog was going to become team captain eventually. Surprised to see it happen this soon, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeyville88 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Love the guy. Seems to be very Canadian in his attitudes and his personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucks.brad Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 i thought matt duchene would have gotten the nod before landeskog but oh well. i guess management though landeskog would be a better choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beluga Whale Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Surprising, but I have no doubt he will be a good captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalie13 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Seems a little early, but Yzerman was named captain of the Red Wings at 21 and Linden became captain of the Canucks at 21. It can work, if you are sure you have the right guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMapleLaughs Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Interesting move. A ploy to get a salary discount down the road? He is pretty good defensively already. Watch OEL be named captain when Doan leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
