Boston Bruins Who's the next Captain?

has anyone said mitch miller yet?

Marchand for sure. Just like Bergy, Marchy's level of competitiveness is off the charts. There is nothing he won't do for his teammates. Marchy is now the team leader. A more hotheaded leader than Bergy was, but no doubt he will be a good captain.

Marchand home jerseys with a C going to be hot Christmas item

I honestly think Brad deserves it but voted Pasta because it could be a bit odd to trade your captain at the deadline...not that this never happened (see Bourque, Raymond).

And, no, I don't already think they'll be selling at the deadline. I am not judging this team until the roster is complete and they play the games.

Pretty clear itll be marchand and he’ll wear it just as long as bergeron did. Would be awesome if he got to lift the cup as captain

 

[Skelen]

Has DK officially retired? What if he comes back for one more swing?

I'd give the C to Carlo before Mac

 

[bruins19]

I’m afraid he will come up short

Small chance it is him.

Will be Brad. Mac isn't ready yet

It will be Marchand if he wants it. No doubt being the tenured bruin, but I am slightly against for one reason. Pissed off rat Marchand is definitely the better Marchand. He plays better that way. If he has to continue the mantel of Bergeron, he may become a model citizen and I am not sure if that will be good for his game. Something I'll certainly be interested in watching.

I love Poitras but agree

I’m no scout so not sure how Calgary sees it but if it’s three top forward prospects and their next 1 you gotta do it

Sweeney aims big so this has to be his target all things added up

Hopefully Lindholm talked to Hanifin what a great place Boston is

Very strongly disagree. Marchand does not have the reputation around the league and with refs to be a viable option as captain. The fact people are saying he is hands down the best option is laughable

Big time voice in the locker room but not wearing the C

 

[Dellstrom]

It’ll be Marchand or no one. Pasta/Mac aren’t ready yet, in my opinion. Big leadership void on this team and they will both need to step up.

They’ll need to use a signal like Ted Lasso did for Jamie Tarrt. To shift into prick mode.

I think people are forgetting this. He won't have any leverage with the officials, not with his history & reputation. Not hating on him, just stating a fact. Officials would listen to Chara & Bergeron as they had the respect of everyone in the NHL.

I'd go with no C until he retires or is traded. If by some miracle DK comes back I'd give him the C.

This is SO far off base. In my best junior B season I played 43 games and had 398 minutes in penalties. Guess who had the best relationship with the officials?

Don't be confused - there are guys that play like Marchy who command respect, and there are guys who play like Marchy who get zero respect. He is 10,000% in the former class, in part fueled by his change over the years.

He'd be a GREAT captain, and will be.

Disagree. He speaks to the guys in stripes and they listen. He speaks to the players and coaches and they listen. He sets up plays and they are usually good. Mac isn't ready and it would NOT be good for him or anyone to burden him with the "C" before he is ready. Brad is far more respected around the league (by players, refs and coaches) than you know.

He has matured and no one else is yet ready to wear the "C".

I will be very disappointed if Brad doesn't get the "C".

The officials do listen to Brad. They have for several years. We see it every game. At first (years ago) we were surprised but it is true.

I know you don't like Brad but he is the best leader on the Bs now.

DK is a great player but not a leader. There is a reason he did not wear the "A" last season (he may have worn it once).
