Are you anticipating Gio being traded his last year? Gio was extended for 6 years, not signed for 6 years.

Out of curiosity, how rare is it to see players stripped of Captaincy but stay playing with the same team? Of late I can only think of Thornton which was a big mistake seeing how they didn't give it to anyone else..

Stripped or passed on? Conroy passed it on to Iggy.

I think people are envisioning a Conroy to Iggy thing a lot more than a Thornton and Marleau situation.

Assuming Monahan is our points leader, number one center entering his prime. Gio is finishing his career and hands the reigns to Monahan and mentors him as captain.

I think the boring factor bodes in his favor. It will be associated with being reliable and hard working.

What leadership qualities does Bennett have that makes everyone want him to be a captain? I'm just curious to see as we haven't seen a big sample size of him yet and people are already picking him for captain.

Monahan, during the Flames' first season in the new building.

Bennett. With what experts are saying and obviously if he lives up to it, we're likely looking at Sam Bennett as being a true franchise number #1 centre. He also seems like a firecracker with a huge ambition to win hockey games.

I guess for me with my limited knowledge of our young players, I see Sam Bennett as a young Mark Giordano in every way except playing position.

I kind of feel like Monahan gets a leg up as next captain on CP because he was the true first young star after the Iginla era and obviously had a very successful first two seasons. But I honestly think after 5 years or so go by and we start actually getting to new captain time, Sam will be an established first line star with the perfect fiery leader personality to a lead a team.

That's nothing against Monahan, and none of us really know anything, but a lot of Monahan's almost guaranteed next captain status on CP seems to be "He seems like the quiet leader type", which very well may be true, but I'm willing to bet it goes to Sam if he's still here.

They asked about who takes over for Giordano, not the next captain after that.

Gio probably hands it off to monahan once he goes into the end of his contract and is passed by brodie and hamilton on the D chart.

Not to mention I'm pretty sure we just did this exact thread like a month ago.

His play style just screams "future captain". That's my only reasoning.

Nobody here knows anything about the locker room. All of these posts are just guesses based on pretty much nothing.
