Brad Moran for me is an obvious choice from an experience point of view,but he always seems very quiet,rather aloof and a bit miserable. Cam yes,but he would always fire the boys up anyway,he doesn't need to be made captain to do that.. Stevie Lee never,a captain has to lead by example and somebody who makes so many mistakes just doesn't and can't do that.
If he returns,i would like to see Schmidt given the C.

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 3 A's nowadays. Why not your boy Lawrence? You know what I though it was while I was typing the above but wasn't certain. Lawrence is no 'A'. He's not my boy in the slightest, just better then some here rated him. Clearly.

I would go with Schmidt if he returns, much better season from him last year and from what I recall he didn't miss a single game or make many mistakes!
If Schmidt does not return then either Moran or a new recruit, just glad that Clarke is not captain anymore
Cam should be an A without a doubt

We need a long term captain so that rules out Schmidt for me. I would be very happy to see Moran or Janssen take the role which hopefully leads to them having longer contracts.

Well that's just a little bit contradictory, Schmidt is probably only going to have this season and that's it for him, but yet your other choices are someone who are 37 & 32 respectively. If we was ever going to have a long term captain, you'd appoint someone who's fully committed to this club, which makes chances that it's just going to be a brit on that basis alone. For what it's worth I do think Moran should be captain for the up and coming season, but I think my opinion can also be swayed.

You can bet your last dollar he will be retired and gone at the end of next season.

I still think long team Macmillan, he;s only 27 got bag of experience And I think CN thinks very highly of this guy, he was the second one back after Cam

Not sure why the new captain has to be here long term, how long was was Fox captain?

Fox was the odd one out as they say, only Clarke and Meyers going back to 2006/07

I don't know what this obsession is with having Brits as captains myself. Phillips is the one exception who is a very good leader

If the C ends up on Lee's chest it could pick up his game, for all we know it could spur him on and change how he plays the game. But I'm in agreement with most that I feel it shouldn't be him or another Brit and like I've said before I'd like to think we'd be bringing in a proper captain (who's done the role for a few successful seasons) as one of our remaining imports.

Look at who Manchester brought in today, Trevor Johnson who's captained championship winning sides in Italy... That's the kind of leader we should be aiming for too.

Lee could well be a very good choice, we don't know how he is on the bench or in the room during games. We don't know how he is during practice. The guy could well be a guy that get's them pumped up. You're only focusing on his play for two seasons, i agree your captain needs to lead by example on ice which tbf last season saw an improvement on the season before. Say what you like he had a fairly solid second half of the season.
Giving him the C may pick up his game, some guys take responsibility in stride. Only time will tell.

No way should Lee get the captaincy, especially as a way to boost him. He has not been all that great over the last two seasons - too many screw ups. We should not have someone who frequently makes silly mistakes as captain. It sends the wrong message and will not provide the motivation to other players when it is needed.

Agree with that, a captain should earn his c and Lee hasn't. It's not given to boost that player it's supposed to be a boost to the team. Who better than cam for that? The guy is selfless and gives his all every game, he comes onto the ice and makes an impact on every shift.

Knowing our lot they'll give it to Larry although I can't see past Moran at the moment. Doesnt Corey usually let the team decide tho' after a couple of matches?

For a 'been there, done that' kind of guy, Dan Spang wouldn't be out the question now...

Moran is the obvious choice, but there's plenty more with experience and some of the younger guys have obviously shown enough in the past to be given the role, like Brown. More to being a leader than just having been round the block a million times.
I was a bit surprised to hear Cam was favourite for the role, was expecting the usual Brit and a promotion for Steve Lee.

Logan Macmillan might be a decent shout ?
