Brown is a clear contender but we don't know who's is to come in yet, Corey could end up getting in a high profile guy who's captained his former teams before, ideally to a championship. I admit that could be far fetched but not completely out the question Indeed you are right on the calibre of player,not far fetched at all either,but then again,this is Panthers. 🙄 You mean somebody just like......Matthieu Roy !

Ideally it needs to be someone with knowledge of the club, not sure a new face coming straight in as C is a good idea

I'd be surprised if Steve Lee isn't made captain
*I think he will be captain, I'm not implying that's who I want as captain

It would be Brown for me from what bits and pieces we have so far.
But Panthers trouble is,imports never hang around long enough to be an even semi permanent fixture as captain. You just end up with a new captain almost every year !

You just end up with a new captain almost every year ! Let's face it out of the top four or five teams we fail every year to retain a core of imports, they are either at the end of their careers , injured or well miffed off by the style of hockey , Corey /GM Or something else that they just don't want to come back. even when we won the league we lost them all .

The returning guys wouldn't have endorsed him getting the C if they didn't feel like he deserved it. Visibly, he didn't appear to be too good a Captain along the lines of Keefe or what we would've gotten from Cam but we don't know what he said to guys when on the bench, on the ice etc.. He could've been awesome for all we know but his style of play and general personality may have made it look otherwise. Cam is a one of a kind so whilst he's the height of what would be ideal, it's a bit unrealistic to expect every Captain to have his kind of personality and unless people accept that then they'll always be disappointed.

If Neilson said in front of everyone 'does everyone agree with Moran being captain' they're not going to say no in front of him!

I can't exactly imagine the entire locker room to be sat in silence thinking to themselves how he shouldn't be Captain. It's more than likely to be as simple as the locker room was genuinely happy with him as Captain. You could ask any player from last season's roster who they looked up to the most that season, I'm sure they'd say Moran.

Whilst he didn't appear to be a great on ice captain,I seem to remember most of us on here picking Brad Moran as our choice this time last season.
Having said that,there wasn't exactly a lot of other obvious choice though was there !

So most of the team is on board. Maybe could've waited until the last few were made, but what are peoples current thoughts?
Is Brown still top of the list, or perhaps Mosey is now the man?
Personally think these 2 are front runners currently and would be happy with either. No desperation for one of the last signings to be captain material for me, although it can do no harm. If we were to get Lepine then I would make him my favourite for the C.

Brown all the way, he'll lead us into war every night. Mosey is experienced now and will be one of our best players next season but I don't think he's the right person for the role.
I'd pick also Brown as I think he understands us fans, he knows what gets us going, the big hits, the fights. I also get the feeling that he has a dislike for them lot, he had 4 fights last season against a Sheffield player and every time it was in Sheffield, if he shares the same hatred as us then he's definitely my pick.

I'd be fine with it being Brown. I'm hoping the remaining centre left to sign might stand out as the obvious choice for captain though.

As others have said, hoping the centre signing is captain material but if not I'm perfectly happy with Brown wearing the C. He brings it every night and his passion is evident, also has some leadership experience as he wore an A at OHL level, C at University level and an A here last season.
