Description
For this list, I put aside all considerations for contract length (years left). Some guys may only be signed for 1-2 more years, but this list is based off of “If i had to pick a new captain *today*. If you have any questions feel free to let me know”.

I was thinking Staal, but after listening to Jack Eichel on Spittin Chiclets, he speaks very highly of Olofsson and calls him the “Swedish Captain”.

Yes, Ellis would be captain if not for Josi most likely -- Johansen + Forsberg would be in consideration as well, but it'd be Ellis. He's an associate captain while the others are assistant captains, so he's obviously highly regarded on the team.

These are really the only notable ones I disagree with. And foligno. Other than that this seems about right.
As a leafs fan, I fully agree Rielly is the next best choise to Tavares for captain over Matthews.

I’ve heard in the past that Geno has had some issues in the locker room. Letang has been a warrior for so long and the way he gives interviews reminds me of someone who should be a captain. Just my thoughts. I could definitely see Geno with the C if somehow Crosby disappeared and they needed a new one.

I think nuge should have the C if for whatever reason mcdavid can’t. He is the longest serving oiler also plays a full 200 foot game. Plays every situation pp pk 5-5 exactly how you want someone leading by example doesn’t get ahead of the play sticks with it. Is by far the most responsible player night in night out. His community involvement which I feel is very important for this type of discussion is beyond what you can ask of a player. Wearing the c isn’t just about the team it’s the captain of the franchise and how you want fans to view your franchise nuge is among the best professionals out there to represent the team. Go NUGE oiler for life!!!

It was between him and Drai. I pretty much just flipped a coin. It could be either one of them.

on spittin chiclets jack eichel called marcus johansson the swedish captain, not victor olofsson. sam reinhart would be the captain if jack eichel was not.

If the Pens “C” wasn’t Sid, Geno or Letang. It would probably be Dumoulin. And Guentzel and Rust an “A”.
