I don't know how Monahan is in the dressing room but he just doesn't come across to me as the Captain type. Who knows though, maybe he's a huge calming presence.

I don't see how we'd trade Giordano when he's over 35 for anything worthwhile so I'm looking 5+ years.

Hoping Bennett hits his potential and takes it.

Based on what I have seen, I would put my bet on Tkachuk. He is a tough, smart, well spoken dickhead. He is one of a few that are bringing the game excitement for old school hockey folk like me.

Lazar seems like captain material as well. If he can develop into a top 6 forward he should be in the running for when Gio passes it on

.
Was Captain of his midget team prior to joining the CHL as a 15 year old
Was an assistant captain of his junior team as a 16/17 year old
Was named co-captain of junior team then captain as a 17/18 year old
Was assistant captain in the top prospect game in his draft year
Was named assistant captain of his NHL team at the age of 21

Seems awful captainy to me.

Short term (within 3 years), it's gotta be backs.

Long term (4-6 years out), I'm really liking Bennett as being a pure Captain yzerman/toews type.

Now, addressing the contract and likeliness of a trade. It will only happen if the next few seasons go very awry. If the team shows the success they're primed for, there is no reason to trade an aging gio.

There is way too much equating with jarome. Way too much simplistic "well we can't ever let that happen again" mindset. Way too much cap/roster management as ultimate end game thinking.

Gio is not jarome. Gio's caphit will equate to approximately half of jarome's cap allocation. Gio is becoming a more complete player and a more robust leader with age. He will never be traded by this current management group because they know it would be stupid to do so. I think some overreacted to the OP, but the flippant assumption that gio's days are numbered at the very beginning of a value contract after a year where he was a top 10 d in the league is reflective of an absurd and immature rationale.
