Sabre fan Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share 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...

Eleven Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 I thought it was made very clear last week that Tim Murray would be making this decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tondas Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Why is Risto never in the "C" conversation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre fan Posted April 22, 2017 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwksndmonster Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
