Sabre fan Posted April 21, 2017 Report Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) I think it is safe to say that hopefully we will see the younger guys getting a chance moving forward (Bailey, Fasching, Baptiste, Casey nelson and Brady Ausitn who went to the same high school as my kids among others) and maybe find a way to lose aging vets that don't really add much like Moulson, Bogo, Gorges and Gionta. So, who is the next Captain??? Probable between jack and Ryan O although I have heard other people mention other players. Is it time for Jack or is he too young? Would it help or hurt his development? OReilly is what he is and I think it is safe to say the "C" would not change him nor hurt him as a player... Edited April 21, 2017 by Sabre fan Quote
Eleven Posted April 21, 2017 Report Posted April 21, 2017 I thought it was made very clear last week that Tim Murray would be making this decision. Quote
RonHextallsShoulderPads Posted April 21, 2017 Report Posted April 21, 2017 i say you let GMTM posthumously award the C. Quote

Sabre fan Posted April 21, 2017 Author Report Posted April 21, 2017 sorry yeah I forgot GMTM is picking him and of course it's Gionta again yippee Quote
Jsixspd Posted April 21, 2017 Report Posted April 21, 2017 Didn't I see someone already using the acronym FGMTM? LOL Quote

Tondas Posted April 22, 2017 Report Posted April 22, 2017 Why is Risto never in the "C" conversation? Quote
Sabre fan Posted April 22, 2017 Author Report Posted April 22, 2017 Why is Risto never in the "C" conversation? sorry that was another name I meant to include and am sure FMGMTM would have considered... Quote
qwksndmonster Posted April 22, 2017 Report Posted April 22, 2017 Why is Risto never in the "C" conversation?He seems kind of like a quiet guy. Not a loner, per se, but not necessarily a leader. This is pure conjecture. Quote
Tondas Posted April 22, 2017 Report Posted April 22, 2017 He seems kind of like a quiet guy. Not a loner, per se, but not necessarily a leader. This is pure conjecture. Could be, I don't know either. From what I've read, he's ultra-competitive and takes hockey seriously (even in practice). He doesn't shy away from anyone and is pretty scrappy. Plenty of great Finnish/Swedish captains in recent NHL history. Quote
