Devils Captain on Opening Night Will Be Bryce Salvador

[JerseyGuy276]

Deboer confirmed that we'll have a captain to start the season.

 

[Devils Trap]

Ill be beyond shocked if it isnt Kovy

 

[Comparison Ford]

Nobody at first. Kovalchuk eventually

Gotta go with this. Also, is anyone going to Barclays center for the opener?

 

[Just Win]

Deboer confirmed that we'll have a captain to start the season.

In that case, it is obviously Kovy. Elias is the only other player that could wear the C and he doesn't want it.

Its not at Barclay...its in Nassau

Unless you know something I don't, I'm pretty sure it's at NVMC, not Barclays.

ahh thanks again. I would've been there all by myself then haha.

 

[Marv4Life]

The next face of the franchise should be the captain. End of story. Anyone besides Kovy would be ludicrous.

 

[Saugus]

Deboer confirmed that we'll have a captain to start the season.

If so, it will almost certainly be Kovy.

 

[Banana Sandwiches]

That would have been pretty unpleasant to go to an arena expecting a Devils-Islanders game only to find no one there or find that it was a Nets game.

 

[NJD Kula]

hmm....

 

[Devils Trap]

The fact that they didnt name it already or today probably means they are waiting till Kovy comes back

 

[kiwidevil]

Don't we have 5 days until the season starts? Plenty of time.

 

[AZNDevil]

I forget, was Parise named captain before opening night or did he just have the "C" on his jersey unannounced during player introductions?

 

[GentlemanOfLeisure]

My guess is Zajac.

 

[Bleedred]

My guess is Zajac.

My guess is not a chance in the world. Alright maybe a slight chance though I think there's a better chance of me winning the lottery, and I don't even play the lotto. They aren't gonna be burned again by giving a pending UFA the C again.

 

[SKNJD9]

Langenbrunner or Rassmussen IMO

 

[Saugus]

There was an announcement, I believe. Near the end of training camp.

 

[Cowbell232]

I still am not sure that Kovy wants it just yet. We'll see I suppose though. Not a lot of time to wait.

 

[MartyOwns]

Langenbrunner or Rassmussen IMO

cant be rassmussen; goalies can't wear the C

 

[Capt Nico Poo]

That NHL.com article might be onto something.. Salvador? Is it really that far fetched? I wouldnt give the C to Kovy because it makes him the center of all attention. Its enough that he is the centerpiece of our offence as it is. Giving the C to Bryce might be a great idea, if he indeed is already a locker room leader.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

I long for the days we have a defender wearing the C again...

Larsson doesn't strike me as the type either.

 

[Better Call Sal]

I think it will be Kovy, but wouldn't mind it being either Patty (if he wants it) or Sal and then pass it on to Kovy when they hang 'em up.

Merrill?

 

[MartyOwns]

why all this salvador love for C? i dont get it. great guy, good defenseman, great work ethic (i guess?) but cmon...lets go for longevity. kovy wanted that deal, and he got it. now make the best player in our room the C. i think he's proven himself.
