Don't teams usually announce em closer to the opener?Well… we’re waiting… ( caddy shack meme emoji)
That always turns out great.I think people have the wrong idea about Cronins relationship with Zegras. I dont see that being a problem if thats what the locker room and front office want.
Its like a dad being hard on their favorite kid.
Agreed but I actually think there’s a good chance Gudas finishes his contract in Anaheim. I believe the Ducks will be at least in playoff contention at the 2025-2026 trade deadline. Ultimately we might miss but we’ll be close enough to stand Pat (pun intended)Just give it to Gudas. He's likely only here until next trade deadline, so it will be a short term captaincy. After that, see where the young core stands and who has stepped up.

I have a some jerseys to get lettered (2 reverse retro and the new home and away). I'm thinking Z and Mac on the retro (after Zegras signs his extension), Gudas was one of the ones I was thinking of for the new home or away. It would be pretty cool if he got a letter for his last couple years.I'm getting gudas on my next jersey so that would be cool to add a letter to it. But besides that I think he makes the most sense if they aren't ready to give it to one of the kids

I feel like if it was going to be Fowler it would have happened already. Even if some guys are in favor of it there’s obviously some institutional reluctance.At what point are the leadership groups typically announced if/when there's a change? I don't know if there's a time in the offseason when these are usually announced but I'd guess that around the time of the training camp, when everyone's back together, practicing together, we'll have an announcement. I do think that a captain will be named for the upcoming season.
I really have no idea which way they want to go though. Do they have a guy in mind who's still too young for the task and they'll go with a veteran who'll stick around for the next few years? Or is it one of the more proven young guys already in the team? If I'd have to guess something it's either Terry or one of the vets (Killorn, Fowler).
I assumed he was going to give the captaincy to a guy like Stammer but then struck out. I'm still on the Gudas train though.
Give the C to Vatrano, just to raise his trade value at the deadline. That would be a gangster move!
