We have players who have taken us over the salary cap, yet none of them are fit to captain? Just pick one and be done with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know an online hater who is in complete denial about said hatred. Back on topic, I think it would be best if Miller is named captain.

And when will it be announced? I can’t see it going to anyone other than Petey or Miller. Don’t get me wrong, Hughes is a great leader is many respects, but I just don’t see him wearing the C. I’d be fine with either Petey or Miller, and my gut says it’ll be Petey. Unless he refuses to sign long term, then Miller. OMG-- Serious Petey doesn't really want the "C" with talking to media and his English isn't as good as he would like..I honestly think Petey is very happy with the "A" .. Hughes is the new captain no question and he is very well spoken and respected by everyone.. Miller has that side that everyone has seen so big no to captain just the "A" Also it takes a good group for leadership.. Hughes "C" -- Petey. "A" -- Miller. "A" --- Support group Demko--Myers -- Boeser---Hronek---( Kuzmenko great personality ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilduce39 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I’d say Hughes but Petey would be ideal if he truly wants it. Miller is a dark horse but could work. He’s a leader for sure but maybe more suited to an A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks will have Captain opening ceremonies and twins will hand Hughes the uniform with the big "C".. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of these guys have the mentality to handle a captaincy role. Petey may at some point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCanuck94 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 This team succeeds or fails on the back of Petey. He has the ability to take over games and change the outcome. He's my pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was evident even during the pandemic when it was Miller who stepped up to defend the team and was the vocal leader. He's an emotional guy. He's firey. He leads and pulls guys into the battle. Just listen to the guy. He's a natural leader. He'll be a great coach someday. We've done it the "nice guy" way for far, FAR too long. This pretty much says it all right there about our next Captain. No more Mr. Nice guys thank you very much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the only thing that matters to me regarding a Captain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
