GrittyForever Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 3 hours ago, OccamsRazor said: So would there be a former Captain out there available through free agency or even on the trade block worth looking into if that person isn't on the team? The key words are "worth looking into" and I can't think of anybody. Chara's probably finally going to retire and he's pretty much done anyway. Bergeron will be a free agent but I'd guess he doesn't leave Boston, possibly retires. Bruins would probably be willing to unload Nick Foligno but he's also well past it. Pavelski and Giordano are both pretty old. Doubt Getzlaf leaves Anaheim. Also old. All captain types, all character guys, but all old. So maybe just sign Ryan Reaves, name him captain, have fight nights every night to entertain the fans while we tank for Bedard 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyClarkeFan16 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 With regards to the captaincy, when Giroux is traded Schmuck and Nature Boy should bring Couturier and Konecny in for a meeting. Schmuck should let Coots know that for the 2022-2023 season, he will be captain. For the rest of this year, Konecny will be that guy. I think Konecny is the guy who will be a blood and guts/vocal captain and that this would be good for him. He's a solid team guy and he shows up to play. I'd be good with that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure when the season is over, you'll tell us. I'll tell you right now. There is no set of moves, in all the millions of hypothetical moves, that makes this team "good" next year. If absolutely everything breaks right for them, health, free agency, Fletcher brain transplant, etc. I could see them possibly sneaking in to an 8th seed and early first round exit. I think that's their absolute ceiling. Their floor is the #1 pick. Edit to say: That ceiling is highly unlikely and they will pick in the 6-12 range.

elmatus Posted February 17, 2022 Author Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) I feel like the most likely choice of next captain is Couts. Whether he should be or whatever, I don't know, but that would follow the typical pattern of the captain being one of the most highly regarded players on the team. Tricky bit is just that none of us have any real idea what these guys are like in the locker room, which should be a much bigger factor than just skill. For all I know, Laughton is decent at settling the team down and getting them focused on the plan, or helping guide coaches on what they're seeing on the ice during games. If so, give it to him. If we're being honest, the choice of captain is hardly what will lead to any great turn around here. The captain doesn't get cloned and play on every line or anything. Pick someone who seems alright at getting folks to paddle in the same direction. That's about the best that can happen. I don't expect the team to suddenly morph into something they're not just cause someone got a letter on their sweater.

Once we trade G, the only scorer we have is Atkinson. I can easily see another 10 game losing streaks. So hopefully we end up picking 4th or 5th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's scary is that edict that Dave Scott gave, it won't surprise me if Schmuck puts the pick up for trade in order to acquire someone who he thinks might help put the club over. I'm scared to death what that incompetent boob is going to do, especially when Schmuck has his mentor whispering sweet nothings in his ear.

That just makes Flyersense. Even if G comes back, I think this gives them an out to go with another guy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are two of my first choices but i don't want to burden Ivan right now while he is trying to get his game right once he gets his partner back to the odds on favorite to me is Coots. He is the one guy that maybe if Giroux came back he would be ok with him keeping the C. Unless they can find another option out there will to be a Flyers i am going with Coots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good so @radoran had spoken of Laphroaig, been wanting to try that maybe an IV of that and then the catheter and we are set might need to brings some blankets i'm sure it is cold and windy and we'll be there for awhile...the goal is to stay till we have new management...or a winning team again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
