Who do we think will be new captain, I think it will be Stevie Lee!!!!!!!
I would like it to be Logan Macmillan, and get him on a long term contract.

Can Janssen is a clear choice. Lots of experience of high level Hickey and an obvious leader. Easily get the lads pumped up and motivated.
Also, Schmidt if he returns perhaps? Moran?

Janssen for the C - he seemed to take on the captain role last season.
Moran for A instead of Myers.
Got a feeling Neilson will plump for Lee though, which would be a travesty seeing how poor he's been the past 2 years. He'll probably follow with that line and give Lacho an A too

Id rather wait until we have a full roster then decide.
Also, Cam isn't someone I'd chose. No doubt he has qualities but I don't think he needs the c to be effective as a leader. I'd worry it would take an element out of his game by him having to worry about staying out the box more so. I actually wouldn't give it any of the roster just yet

Wait and see who else we sign up, might be a natural leader amongst them, someone who can lead by example and drag the team along when required.
Cam would be motivational, but would he be on the ice enough? Fox was able to directly affect games with his coupling of ability and will to win.
Probably will be Steve.

Moran's the natural choice. He was brilliant towards the end of the season.

I believe, if what Clarke suggested, that Lee will be getting the C stitched on his chest, just a shame it means Captain rather than Crap.
I'd much prefer Moran getting it though.
As for Alternates, i'd assume, should Schmidt retire, that it'll be Moran, Waugh and perhaps Lachowicz or Farmer.

He was the main reason Mosey came into such prominent form at the end of the season I definitely didn't put Mosey's form down to Moran, not heard that credit before either? There was so much line changing, few players got much time pairing up with anyone in the final few months. Don't get me wrong, Moran is a good player of course, I just thought past Feb he went quiet (probably get proved wrong if someone dug up stats though)!

Fox was able to directly affect games with his coupling of ability and will to win. ^^^^^^^ This ^^^^^^^^ I love Cam and he's a motivator, a character and many other things, but not someone who can grab the game by the scruff of the neck and change it by himself. Give him an 'A', but I'd go for Moran personally. I don't think he's perfect, but the best of the current bunch.

Agree with others that Cam is perfect for an A. I wouldn't want the C on him though.
Moran - C Janssen - A Schmidt/Lee - A

He was the main reason Mosey came into such prominent form at the end of the season I saw this as well. Moran really seemed to appreciate the speed around him. These two clicked.

Got to be cam or moran surely! Cam would be my first choice. Passionate hard working and does whatever he can for his team everytime!

Doesn't need to be Cam, he can clearly fire up the boys as he's mentioned a few times in interviews. Take Keefe for instance he's been captain at Belfast for a while but he's not a game changer. He'll make a big hit or fight to get the guys pumped but he can't go coast to coast and dangle the jock off the goalie. I think our captain is yet to be signed.

I will be very disappointed if Lee is named captain, much like Clarke it seems he would be given it due to his loyalty rather than anything else.
Not sure why people consider Cam to be an unwise choice, a captain in any sports team doesn't have to be the best player. There are different kinds of leader after all.

Biggest role for a C apart from pestering stripeys is to be a natural leader, a REAL desire to win and lead by example. Cam is an asolute nail on but I bet it goes to Lee

Either Clarke has made the recommendation for it to be Lee or it was already being looked at by Corey. Chances of it being Lee are probably 98%.
Cam would be good for the C with his motivation and tendancy to talk to officials regardless of what's on his chest but he rarely got more than 3 or 4 minutes of ice time each game so it'd be rather useless unless he'll get more ice time and was to be played in a bit more of a skill role rather than unsettling opposition players but obviously that's what he's best at.

I don't think he should be captain but you can't deny his commitment to the club, next season will be his eighth season which is outstanding bearing in mind he's only 25, he's not scared of standing up for team mates as well but does he have the character to be a leader I don't think so

Forget if you think Lee will be captain.. Does Lee deserve to be Captain? ! The only thing i can accept which he posesses is his experience in the League. Other than that i don't feel he deserves it and is very lucky to have had an A on his chest for so long. He doesn't lead by example at all, unless we want all our players trying no look passes in the defensive zone, he panics too much and doesn't use his size very often, or his shot. It's a similar scenario to Lachowicz, there's so much potential, most of which we've seen in previous seasons but it's just gone and they've both entered a decline. For Lee i guess the hit he took from O'Marra which took his head off was probably the turning point for him in below average performances. Moran will always be the one i'd choose. He just doesn't care about the 'let the fans hear what they want to hear' type crap and will say stuff how it is. If we were too poor at the back, or if the forwards didn't do enough.. He will raise the point and talk about how the team must snap out of it and work on it to get better results. Not only that, his vast experience alone is a thing to open the eyes, if he doesn't get the C, i will be disappointed.. well angry if Lee does get it like he's expected to. But he deserves an additional role in the team no doubt.
