I think it will be one of Monahan or Bennett. My money is on Bennett if he can take that next step, he just plays with more fire.

Seems like it is a fair off season question if only because it is a way of establishing the possible succession plans even if they are years away.
Given that likely timeline I'm going to put my money on Tkachuk

Discussing who might be the captain at that time is a ridiculous exercise.

Also, show Giordano some respect ffs.
Yea, Idk about that. With all the defensive prospects coming up and they are going to be trying to take his job in the next couple years, we could trade him out. So, I think it will be a lot closer then 4-6 years.

Monahan easily. The fact Backlund doesn't even have an A (I think he should) to me says he won't even be considered.

Monahan-C

Monahan moves to captain, Gio and Brouwer won't be here anymore

Tkachuk. Destined to be a captain, just like his father.

By this logic, Troy Brouwer has a better chance of being named captain than Backlund. I'd say his chances of being bought out are exponentially higher.

Let's not forget, Wideman and Russell both held letters not so long ago.

Couldn't disagree more. Its not about dedication but leadership.

Obviously things can change but him not wearing any letter says a lot. He's a great teammate but probably not someone you look to when things get tough.

The younger guys in Monahan / Hamilton / Tkachuk etc will likely get the C when it's time.

If the Flames re-sign Backlund then I think he gets it, and then Mony later. If not, Mony for sure.

Giordano retires when his deal is done, Monahan inherits the C.
