Jets - Announcing Captains/Alternates today

[ResAlien]

I'm holding out hope it's Myers. If not he's probably going to be a toxic locker room presence. Will someone live tweet this?

My guess:

Wheeler - Captain

Scheifele - Alternate

Byfuglien - Alternate

[sureLoss]

The Winnipeg Jets named forward Blake Wheeler the team’s captain on Wednesday, while defenceman Dustin Byfuglien and forward Mark Scheifele will serve as alternate captains.

Wheeler!? I am outraged.

[djsFlames]

Cool.

They'll still suck regardless.

[GreenLantern2814]

They chose to keep Buff over Ladd.

Edit: my guess was wrong. Should have read the 2nd page

PREDICTION: This will be a "significant hockey-related" announcement, unlike the Ottawa Senators/Daniel Alfredsson jersey retirement event.

Bah humbug.

Just an FYI, I straight up copied that off my FB feed, posted by "The Winnipeg Jets", hence the 'we'.

Was just excited to 'break news' for once. After the Alphie-Ottawa-big announcement post, figured this sort of minor news was good enough for it's own thread.

I still don't even know who their captain was last year

[Northendzone]

I thought it was Ladd until he was traded

for those of you wondering - Wheels gets the C while Buff and Schifs get A's

[Robbob]

This will make that first game in Penticton that much more interesting.

[the2bears]

So disappointed.

This thread reminds me they still haven't announced McDavid as Captain

Meh, it goes without saying.

I'm sure Little is feeling a little belittled.

Lets trade for him.

[Fire of the Phoenix]

Lol Ottawa and Winnipeg so desperately want the hockey world to care about them.

I rather wheel and deal for Wheeler.

Shufflin for Byfuglien.
