idahophilly Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 OK, this is putting the cart way before the horses about the Weber outcome but why not have some fun... I name Talbot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStraw Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Timmo or Briere. The fact that the Flyers offer-sheeted Weber tells me they think Pronger is history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJgoal Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Pronger. Until he publicly relinquishes it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doom88 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 There was no captain last year right? Roo, Briere and Kimmo had A's?YES. Stick with this plan, and leave the C out of the picture, unless somehow Pronger returns of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarsippius Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Will be Kimmo.Should be Talbot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilldoc Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 like I said in the thread I started concerning the "c".....why not just go with three "A"'s for the time being. There seems to be enough vetern leadership aroung to keep the ship headed in the right direction......... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sekkes85 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Not so sure if Timo gets it. He is obviously more than capable but on the last year of his contract and other guys who also have leadership experience signed beyond the next year I think one of them will get it. Giroux obviously is the face of the franchise and will hopefully be a force for the foreseable future but that doesn't necessary warrant a CIF the Weber offer goes through; he has leadership but will be the "New guy" and may warrant Timo getting the C for the year and then Weber next year.So to answer you question, nobody will know jack until the roster is finalized Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDFlyerFan Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I was thinking G but voted Briere. He seems to work well with the younger players. G is probably capable now but I'd rather wait another year or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbelMorpheus Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I don't care what anybody says, giving the C to Weber is a slap in the face to the conditioned (read comfortable with Philly and the media) players currently on the team. Weber can grow into his position. The C can either go to Kimmo or Briere, the more tenured players, with one of those two and Roo getting the A. If that doesn't happen then the same three A's as last year.And for crying out loud....keep Voracek. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sekkes85 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I was thinking G but voted Briere. He seems to work well with the younger players. G is probably capable now but I'd rather wait another year or two.Very good point. Considering how young the team is offensively and his ability to connect (or even invite them to live with him and his kids) with them I think he would be a good choice. He has 3 years left on his contract and can help groom some of the younger guys into the role or allow Weber (again granted if this goes through) to become seasoned with the Philly scene. I love Pronger in the O&B as captain but the offer sheet to Weber is an indicator that his playing days are done. Not sure what it means to the player but I feel it would be beneficial to have a captain on the ice. Just be thankful we have so many options of veteran leadership with such a young group of players.

jkearse123 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 What about Doan? (if we sign him, of course) Just throwing another name out there. Not necessarily my choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Briere floats too much (in the regular season) to wear a "C" IMO. I'd have no problem with Timonen getting it until it's Girouxs turn. And it will be his turn next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinorama Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 no idea why this topic even matters... haven't we beat it to death? besides, didn't @pilldoc already start this exact thread minus the poll? why did we need a second one, just bump his...

Spinorama Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 @SpinoramaIt's summer. Not much else to talk about. Beats having a 27th Weber thread....ok, ties it.well I for one would like to revisit how awesome the WFC's ice is!I did feel bad about being judgmental, it isn't my place to decide what people care about. I actually approach the subject from a different point of view but didn't articulate it. I don't care because I don't want it to hold much weight. It really seems the captaincy is jinxed and therefor let's not worry about it for now. Just get the players in, get the systems worked out and win a freaking cup, screw who wears the C. but that's just me. well, not JUST me but you know what I mean. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
