With the Flames having so much turnover recently and in the near future it makes sense to give the captaincy to a player with term and my gut says Weegar is the right choice. He’s had to earn every bit of icetime and roles on his NHL teams, is willing to throw down to take justice into his own hands, and has a reasonably good ‘mean stare’. In the media he is calm, honestly direct, and exudes maturity. Seems like a guy that can hold teammate’s accountable and has the shoulders to carry the team in important situations. I like Ras too, but he’s a bit less mature and hasn’t shown he’s willing enforce his sense of justice on opponents or teammates without dramatic gestures.
