Just more gas to throw on this Springfield tire fire of an offseason, as much as I'm sure Tanev is a quality guy.
I feel like this is made up. The last captain wasn’t even drafted.

I like Tanev but I don’t think I’d be naming him captain. That’s just me though.

Actually, same here.

Tanev was the top performer last season. Do you want to potentially mess with that by putting the C on his jersey and putting more responsibilities on his plate?

I would be a fan of letting the deserving nominee separate themselves through performance before awarding it.

Lewis won two cups.

The ‘C’ doesn’t matter too much to me. Ultimately I think Sutter will be the leader of this group.

I think we should name a captain when someone on the team does something in the playoffs

Those are my choices.
Tkachuk as a captain? He can't even control himself on the ice and makes dumb selfish plays all over the ice. He'd be down the totem pole for captain for me.

I would hope Lindholm would be up there, tho knowing nothing about his off ice demeanour and whether he has leadership qualities. He certainly does on the ice. Tanev feels awkward to me as he’s so new to the organization. I wouldn’t be thrilled with him being named C.

Tanev is the one who sacrifices himself the most for the team, and is the hardest worker-he should get the C. Looch is another candidate, he might not be the best player on the planet, but he works hard and actually cares about winning.

Part of me thinks Lucic would be great, especially given the circumstances of the trade with the Oilers. We got a captain, they got a buyout. Legendary.

But also I’d worry that his okay could drop off more and we know the fans would be tough on him with that contract. Not sure if the Flames want to risk the team being captained by a guy who skills are regressing.

This is when it should’ve been Tkachuk’s but unfortunately things have changed.
Monahan is so far from captain material.
I think it will be Tanev, and this reminds me of the young gun days.

I don't think one player bring captain or assistant captain makes a whole lot of a difference one way or the other. Near as I can tell, those with Cs or As on their jersey get to act in an official capacity to bitch to the refs about calls and non-calls.

To be clear, many great players over the years haven been captains or assistant captains. But they're great because of everything else to do with how they play, not because of an extra letter on the jersey.

Good luck to the Flames new captain.

Tkachuk or Backs should be the captain.

Tkachuk is our future and Backs is the vocal leader in the room.

Give the other A to Looch.

Weird.

I dont think they're wearing those jerseys at all this season.

I'd like to see Tanev, Lindholm or Lucic get the C. None of the current A's have done enough to get the C in my opinion. Time for a change.
