He is born for it. The most Natural leader on the team. When should he be named captain? If you don't see him as a captain who then?

The kid is 19 and has three goals. Despite being a hardworking and character guy, he has more to focus on at this point in his young career than being a leader. A guy like Crosby can be a teenage captain because he scored 100 points in his sleep at 18. The pressure of being a captain was nothing. I'd let Girgensons stew a little more and solidify himself into a top-six winger (if he can) before keeping more expectations on him.
how long ago was the Weber for captain thread? lets keep trying to throw letters at people with less than a season of good hockey (MUCH MUCH less for Z) in the NHL
Concentrating on his game before giving him the added pressure of being captain is a fair point, but his point production has nothing to do with being a captain.
The Girgensons hype is getting silly

But any excuse to bring that up again is worth it.
I think he's probably the most suitable guy but I don't want to put too much pressure on him. He's already trying to learn the NHL game let him do that without worrying about leading the team too.
yea, we went in a much better direction
you wanted Vanek to get the Captaincy... how'd that work out for ya? he met all the completely irrelevant criteria for being the captain of a rebuilding team: veteran, tenure, talent.... and none of that **** matters.

Agreed. He works his ass off, but there is a ton of development still to come, and he maxes out well below the superstar threshold.

Hodgson is the next captain imo. Down the road zemgus will get an A and be one of the leaders on this team.
Not until he improves his defensive play. He still looks completely lose back there.
