thejazz97 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 The San Jose Sharks named forward Joe Pavelski the club's new captainMonday. Forwards Joe Thornton and Logan Couture will serve as the team's alternate captains, the team announced. The team went without a captain during the 2014-15 season after Thornton, who served as captain from 2010-2014, was stripped of the role. Speculation on who would don the "C" for the Sharks ramped up after head coach Peter DeBoer announced that he had made his decision, but was waiting to reveal it. Pavelski has spent his entire 10-year career with the Sharks posting 228 goals and 485 points in 643 games. He led the team in goals and points last season with 37 and 70 respectively. http://www.thescore.com/news/846990 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRussianRocket. Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Captaincy doesn't hold much value in San Jose anyways. They'll probably strip him of it in 4 years and give it to Couture while Pavelski is still on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathew Barzal Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I know Thornton and Marleau are used to disappointment, but this is a slap in the face for both of them. Is Doug Wilson the one who decides these things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Better than Thornton. The only reason Pavelski has really ever annoyed me was with his skill against us. Can't say the same for Thornton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 They're probably terrified that Big Joe might snipe 4 in a game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Building Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 NMC Joe has been very vocal about how much he likes San Jose and how he sees himself finishing out his career there, but in 2014, after the Kings crushed the Sharks, he came out and said that if he wasn't wanted he would reconsider moving on. Nothing happened. Then the press fight of words between Wilson and Thornton. Nothing happened. There have been off season reports 2 years in a row that the Thornton camp has never even been approached about him waiving. Capital bold letters don't tell the whole story, and I'm sure there is more to it than I've hinted at here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Weasel Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Wilson should have been fired a long time ago. Jumbo Joe is a tool. I like Pavelski though. He's a good choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HC20.0 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Good choice, but having both your former captains still on the team after they both got ungracefully torn from their captaincy must sting a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HC20.0 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Wilson should have been fired a long time ago. Jumbo Joe is a tool. I like Pavelski though. He's a good choice. Wilson's easily one of the worst GM's in the league. Now that Todd's gone, he's out of scapegoats. Should've been canned after blowing that 3-0 lead.

Wonder how much teams would give up for Thornton/Marleau. Definitely worth significantly less than like 2/3 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
