We stripping Panarin of the A?

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

It will not be Kreider.

1. He would have had it by now
2. He isn't captain material whatsoever. He is an odd ball. Very quirky. Definitely does not have the pulse of the locker room
3. Hes invisible 70% of the year. Captains cant do that

Weird how players who are actually in the locker room with him say the exact opposite.

so did you guys have home insurance to cover the cost of the home repair or did the driver's insurance company contact your family?

 

[Bruner4329]

Maybe the C should go to Panarin or Zib. The team seems to sink or swim based on how they're doing anyways. I'm sure the room listens when either is talking. Certainly, Gallant will only be successful if theyre on board with his plan. No one else will be successful as C without Panarin's support.

It does not necessarily go to the best player or leading points producers. Leadership has so many other intangibles.

Amazing how people continue to dump on the guy under every possible target. Fact is you don't know how he is perceived in the locker room. Just looking on the ice after periods and games he is the last one off the ice after interacting with the players as they step off. From a distance I think he is well liked and respected but I am not expert either. We shall see.

Most of the guys in the room weren't even on the team 3 years ago.

thats literally just more of a sample size agreeing with my statement....

really havent read anything saying Kreider is the leader in the locker room. Big difference between a leader and a vet

Home insurance covered it but we're still in the process of those crooks repairing things and compensating us lol

Kreider:

"Just over the summer, the impact he had on our organization was huge, working with all those guys at Ben Prentiss'," David Quinn said. "I think half the team was staying at his house - he was running a bed-and-breakfast over there in Rowayton."
"It's not only what you see that he does for us on the ice," Quinn added of his winger, "What he does away from the rink with these young guys is invaluable."

 

[Richard Banger]

I’d honestly be really happy to see Lindgren with the C. I think he would take on a bigger personality like Callahan

 

[Avery16]

I agree. But I think both Panarin and Zib are worth more than just their points totals. We’ve all seen what happens to the rest of the team when they drop out. In some ways, they carry the team. Maybe also in spirit and not just with their points.

 

[Avery16]

Trouba has 3 more years left on his NMC, after which he could be traded.

Could hypothetically be traded. Getting it done won’t be easy.

 

[Irishguy42]

Greg McKegg for the captaincy or bust

 

[EdJovanovski]

Kravtsov for captain

 

[TheGortonConspiracy]

Mika for C and I will be disappointed with anything else

 

[Kodiak]

In keeping with our focus on team toughness, the captaincy will be determined by a training camp battle royale.

Say hello to Captain Ryan Reeves.

Also, Zibanejad and Kreider will be out 4-6 weeks with facial contusions.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Honestly its really tough for the fans to determine who the captain should be.

All we see is what happens on the ice. For me, what goes on in the room and in Tarrytown is as just as important.

 

[Avery16]

Kravtsov for captain

You’re going to f*** around and get Kravstov traded for a 2nd rd pick and a 4th line mucker.

 

[NYR Viper]

It should be:

Kreider - C
Trouba - A
Lindgren - A
Panarin - A

 

[SRHRangers]

Wait a year and give it to LaF.

 

[Avery16]

It should be:

Kreider - C
Trouba - A
Lindgren - A
Panarin - A

These are letter grades, right? I'd change Trouba to a B. Otherwise, spot-on.

 

[Deleted member 23124]

It should be:

Kreider - C
Trouba - A
Lindgren - A
Panarin - A

I think if Kreider was C material, he would have been made captain before now.

 

[Lays]

Wait a year and give it to LaF.

Team already announced they’re naming a captain this season. I think it’s Trouba.

 

[DialUp]

Wait a year and give it to LaF.

Perception of course (I know nothing), but in the recent past, the young captains SEEMED to be a little more "serious" than Laf: Connor McD, Landeskog, Eichel, and going further back, Crosby/Toews.

Laf seems like he is a joy to be around in the locker room which is a leader role in it's own right, but coaches don't appear to name those types as captain. Could be totally off here. Fox is a bit odd to me in interviews (so is Lindgren), so I would think it would be Mika/Trouba/Kreider.

Crosby, Toews and McDavid I agree with. Landeskog and Eichel are both definitely a lot spicier. Big personalities. Obviously, Eich may not be such a great captain, but Landeskog is like the quintessential captain to me. The problem with Laf is, if he doesn’t at least put up about 50 points it would just be unprecedented. All of those guys had big production early on. Laf, to me, 100% has the “it” of an NHL captain. He has that likability but fired up-ness. He has lead by example. He has the love of the game. He just needs to produce this year. You can name a third year player captain if he’s producing. You can’t really name a third year player captain if he has like a career high of 31 points.
