Yeah I saw he had an A on his sweater during one of the preseason games. It'd be neat if they gave Boll's A to Jenner.

Anything is possible, but until the regular season starts or it's officially released, it's merely speculation on anyone's part.
What goes on inside that room is up to the team. Not even Portzline knows.

They'll probably do alternating letters for road/home. With Dubi and Jack being the only 2 who have them all year. Maybe Letestu at home has an A and Boone away.
I'll vouch for Porty a bit here... We can be legitimately annoyed at the constant "OMG we need a captain now now now" line of thought and still speculate as to what the club will do long term. I happen to think its very plausible that Jenner will get the captaincy for the long run.

I'd be sort of surprised to see it carry over to the regular season, but not because of Boone himself - more the other veterans.
I have his rookie road jersey and it has the remnants of a C. Prospect camp...but still...someday this kid wears a C for someone...

I don't think he will have it in two years while Dubie is still here. but after Dubie, I could see that.

Are his arms really that short?

Agree with this, if JJ is still here he and Murray could rotate it, but we'll see.

Which means its not anymore likely to occur. Seriously, Porty can't predict anything of this nature given how dynamic our personnel situation is. He's wearing an A for now and, thats great imo.
Kid caught my eye last year in Anaheim, which is one of the greatest achievements a young player can have.
Ok, the 2nd part there was an exaggeration
Is this kid a two-way playmaker? How would u guys classify his game?

Pretty much an all-around player. He can do a bit everything, pretty much. He's VERY physical, he's a bit of an agitator and gets under the skin of the opponents multiple times a game, he's got a decent shot and does have the ability to set up his team mates with a damn good pass as well. He plays on both the PP and PK. He does need improvement on faceoffs, though. But he's getting better and will continue to do so.
I can see him getting somewhere around 20 goals this season ( well maybe 15 due to missing time with a hand injury earlier ) and 40-50 points.
So, overall, he's a hell of a player and will only get better. All of us CBJ fans love the guy. One of the hardest workers on the team and always shows up ready to play. Hard to find something about Boone to complain about, really.

Really depends on the asking price for Getzlaf & Kesler. They would look good in Union Blue tho.

Portzline: Yes, he's worn an 'A', and soon he'll wear the 'C'. I haven't noticed him yapping. I see conversations, but he doesn't strike me as a complainer. I'm going to pass your message on to Jarmo Kekalainen and John Davidson, though. They should go sign that next Steve Yzerman-type player and leader. Jenner is going to be a really good captain. He's one of those kids who figures it out without having to go through it and make a mistake the first time."
Not sure if to put this here or "interesting tid-bits" but this struck me as odd - we know Jenner wore an A in preseason, but I can't recall him wearing one since he's been back. The team has rotated (when healthy) between Letestu, Johnson, Tyutin, Boll (every game), Wisniewski, and Foligno. As bad as the injuries have been, at least three of those guys have played in every game. Anyone have a regular season game of Boone wearing an A?
