As good a source as it gets.

And I'm sorry but anybody on this board saying oh no it should be Kreider.. I don't know how the hell any of us can have a fair opinion on that

We ain't in the room

The Rangers traded their captain in the midst of the best season they had since 1994 so this doesn't mean Trouba will never be traded

I mean they traded cally leading to a contract issue where he would walk for nothing, and they got a really good player in return that helped them. Trouba situation isn't comparable, he is signed long term and the team isn't naming him captain now after how many years without one just to trade him in a year, that's just stupid
 
Trouba is fine besides a slight overpay. He also gassed in the playoffs.. Hopefully he leads by example and works on it

Looks like they are still going with 6 alternates. All the guys in the video minus Lindgren had letters this past season. Strome left, so if they want to keep 6 alternates, Lindgren gets a letter too.
 
A lot of you need a lesson about leadership. You do not put a C on someone’s sweater because he is the best one on the ice. You give the C to the person that can motivate and get their team to step up. Be a voice to the group. Hold them accountable when needed. Unfortunately, a lot of the leadership intangibles within the locker room are not visible to us fans.

A lesson, eh?

Perhaps a lesson on defending the blue line then. Do you give a C to the person who has the turning circle of the Ark Royal?

He seems like a fine choice based on everything that is being said about his leadership.

But I gotta give it a 10/10 for troll purposes. The headlines decrying how "problematic" this is basically write themselves.

I beg to differ. Fortunately I'd say. Not everything has to be on/for show. Unfortunately, modern media/society is too bent on looking for flashy visible stuff though.
Let intangibles stay intangible.

I gave zero f***s about the C but I'm glad that we can stop talking about this now.

Mika is not captain material. Great player but he's takes 30 games to pull his head out of his ass annually and gets shell shocked more easily than the other candidates. Kreider and Trouba would have both been good choices. Kreider probably leads more quietly than Trouba. This is a Callahan captaincy rather than a McDonagh captaincy. Trouba is the team rep to the NHLPA as well.

I will never understand all the Mika for Captain people. Great player, love him as a Ranger. Don't see him as a captain at all.

Kreider is an easy choice, but clearly didn't seem to want it. I think it's safe to say if he wanted it he could have had it by now. I still expect he'll be a huge leader on the team no matter what letter is on his jersey.

Trouba has been reported to be the locker room leader for a couple years now. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone he's been paying attention. Beat writers have reported it multiple times and players are always talking about him.
 
Teams naming a captain is a great time if you enjoy people who are nowhere near the inner functioning of the team acting like they are. If this surprises you, I don't think you were paying attention.

Would be tough to do with a full time captain. Each A would rotate in once every three games. Think they probably go with 4 (Kreider, Zibanejad, Goodrow, Panarin).

The biggest takeaway--and mainly just hopeful: the stupid hugging at the end of wins can finally stop.

Team definitely need a culture change--from the overpassing (always with the Rangers, but comes from 'oh I want my teammates to succeed!'), the gleeful instagram videos of guys goofing around (Laf is the biggest culprit of this, honestly) and just no killer instinct--hopefully Trouba can lead that charge.

Lets be real, you'd be too busy collecting hairs from Kravtsov's taint to even notice that he entered the room.
