I'm pretty sure Mark Giordano himself could handle this thread better than EnochRoot has. The accusations of disrespect are bizarre.

Monohan, Tkachuk, Jankowski, Backlund, Bennett, Brodie, Stone all could wear A's and a couple could wear the C.

It's not even like the OP said we should take the C away from Giordano this season and give it to someone else.

Going to start a "Who should be the next head coach of the Flames be" thread.

Monahan is pretty much being groomed for it. But I think Bennett could be a great captain too, if he reaches his potential.

Won't be a relevant question for a long time though, cause Giordano is retiring in Calgary.

I did want to discuss the topic - I wanted to say it was disrespectful.

Giordano is not going to be here for 3 years or less.

Too early to tell but right now I'd go with Monahan.

Hmmm. While you're in the future, can you get me the lottery numbers for next week?

Based on what the perception of the team's "window," it's likely that Giordano is here for at least two seasons (and his usefulness will need to fall off considerably OR a prospect will have to look like Hamilton 2.0 to make the team consider trading him in the next three years).

That said, it's an interesting thought exercise before games start up so w/e.

Whats disrespectful? He started a discussion that all of the other participants are engaging in. You think its disrespectful? How?
Gio is still the captain, but I for one, would like to see him traded in the next few years (if there are young players able to take his spot) if it makes sense.
No disrespect to Gio, he is both a great player and captain. But sometimes needs change on a team.
I would take Brodie or Mony for next captain.

How about Adam Fox as the next captain?

Easiest question ever, it is obviously Monahan.

Dougie Hamilton would be fun for captain.
Great for less serious interviews

Someone not even on the team right now.

Voted "Terrible" thread. Gio ain't going anywhere anytime soon so it seems like a pretty silly talking point. Obviously some of us don't like hypotheticals as much as others of us do.
