Captain Aerosex Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Ottawa - Spezza...just seems like the right guy, he's a respected vet on the team as well as a star player. Dallas - Benn, they want to build around him, obvious choice. Tampa Bay - Stamkos, St. Louis is too old. Columbus - Johnson or Dubinsky, I'll go with Johnson. Edmonton - Hall...no, not Eberle. New York - Tavares, who else? Buffalo - Vanek, if they go with one captain instead of a rotating captaincy. Calgary - Giordano, best choice available.

canucktican Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I'm surprised at the low number of trolls in this thread suggesting Mason Raymond for Calgary captaincy lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Ottawa - Spezza Phillips is an option, but he doesn't have many years left and Spezza is ready for the 'C'. Dallas - Whitney Whitney can serve as captain until he finally hangs up the skates, and then it can be Benn's turn. Tampa Bay - St. Louis This is a similar situation to Ottawa's, except that Spezza is more ready for captaincy than Stamkos is, thus I'd say St. Louis ought to take the 'C' until he retires and by that time, Stammer will be ready. Columbus - Johnson This one is a tough one. I picked Johnson, but Tyutin and Dubinsky could also be in the hunt for the 'C'. Gaborik is also an option. Edmonton - Hall I expected Eberle to be the Oilers' best player last year. He wasn't. Hall ended up being the guy who lead the team, and thus I feel like he may be the better option. New York - Tavares This one is a pretty obvious option. While Tavares is still really young, he has taken control of the Islanders and in light of the lack of any better leader, he'll likely have a 'C' sewn on his jersey soon. Buffalo - Vanek Europeans aren't as often captains as North Americans, but Vanek is clearly the best choice. He's experienced and has been a Sabre for many years now. Calgary - Cammalleri Cammalleri is the best option of not many good options. I wouldn't be surprised to see Calgary go without a captain next year.

Danthecanucksfan Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Tampa Bay will probably go straight to Stamkos. Although St.Louis is TB for life, he doesnt need a C on his chest to demonstrate his leadership. Although its possible that they give it to St.louis for the rest of his career in respect. Plus Stamkos has plenty of time to hold the C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
