Who wears the letters next season?

[Nac Mac Feegle]

I really don't like the idea of young offensive guys like Stephan getting a letter. It's really difficult putting up points consistently in this league; they don't need the added pressure of having a letter on their jersey while they're still earning their stripes.

Slightly OT, I honestly think giving the C to Ovechkin was the biggest factor in his play going downhill after his first two seasons. Some guys just don't need those extra expectations placed on their shoulders.

I think it should be as follows:

Callahan: C
Staal: A
Nash: A (home)
Girardi: A (away)
Clowe: A (CBJ had like 5 As, why can't we have 3?)

Because that's four.

You take your counting and get right out of here

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Can Lundqvist wear CAA across his jersey, or is that too much to ask?

Seriously though, Cally gets C, obviously, and Staal, Girardi with As

I wouldn't mind Nash with an A but after this playoff performance I'm not too sure about that.

 

[Holocene]

Richard's A should go to Stepan

Agreed here. Callahan and Staal keep their letters and Stepan gets one. I can see them sticking with Girardi though. Stepan will get a letter at some point during his career here.

My feelings exactly. Maybe Stapan is ready in a few years, but let him establish himself as a leader first. Putting it on him to early might have the opposite effect.

Girardi or Stepan should get the A.

 

[Crease]

Girardi is the clear front-runner for the next available permanent letter. Not surprising either. Longest tenured skater. Heart and soul guy. Has been wearing a temporary letter with Staal out. This isn't a video game or rec league where the most talented guys on the team get the letters by default.

id be stunned if Girardi didnt get Richards A if richards is bought out.

[Vickers8]

If by some miracle Richards stays, he wont have an A

 

[Crease]

This:

Landeskog's leadership abilities were a large part of why Sacco named him captain...

 

[Kris Chreider]

Because that's four.

Three As in any single game. Two guys split it home/away.

 

[Dalagaze]

Cally with the C, Staal and Girardi with the A's. I can see Nash or Boyle as the backups in the event of an injury.

 

[Callagraves]

Man, I miss Staal. I want him to keep the A, but it's tough with how little he seems to play in a season these days....

 

[Machinehead]

Landeskog disagrees

I don't think he does. If the most talented players got the letters Duchene would be captain of the Avs.

 

[SlingshotVv]

Henrik Lundqvist will get

CAAA

Somebody please photoshop this into reality!!!
