Don't we have 4 years to worry about this? As of now I would pick Tkachuk. But things change season to season, let alone 4 years from now.

If it's when Gio's contract is up, then definitely Tkachuk. If it's next year, I'd say Monahan.

Tkachuk. I've wanted a player like this on the flames for far to long. Give him term, money and anything else he wants.

Tkachuk for me. We don't know how they truly are in the locker room tho, so it's hard to say. Tkachuk is the guy just based off work ethic and compete.

I would choose Gaudreau. Top 10 scorer in the league and you can see how much he cares about winning in those post game gifs!

I think Monahan is your next captain regardless of how lethal Tkachuk is on the ice.

Monahan seems like your born leader with the values and drive you want the team to rally around. We see a lot of the boring Monahan, but I think this guy's a fighter. There's many years left before we cross that bridge, but all he needs is that edge to be exactly what any team would want as their primary leader.

Tkachuk will be a leader on this team for sure, but I don't know about Captain.

If it's Bennett I will be very excited. I will also eat an actual hat as I believe this to be unlikely at best.

Gio will play until he's 40, so it will be a player not currently on our team

Would love to see Tkachuk get an A at the start of next season. Regarding the future C, thats a discussion thats 4-5 years away. Gio isn't going anywhere anytime soon and is still an elite D. I do think Tkachuk would be a great fit to replace him one day tho as the leader of this team.

It's not going to be Bennett you guys. Come on. It will 100% without a doubt be Monahan. Tkachuk should have an 'A' at some point.

If Bennett improves on his ability to stop taking offensive zone penalties, then maybe I can see him with an A, but no way they give him a C.

To me, it'll probably be Monahan getting the C, and Tkachuk getting the A. But it could go either way and I would be happy with both outcomes.

Lol, I hope Bennett will have figured that out by the time Gio is ready to move on or hang em up.

And with that thinking, Bennett stands as much chance as Tkachuk and Monny as being the Flames next Captain, which is at least 4 years away if not longer.

Bennett is definitely an out there guess, but hopefully it comes true as that likely means this team turns into a legitimate contender over the next couple seasons. Certainly doesn't seem very likely at the moment though.

I think you meant ‘improves on his ability to do anything’
