Head coach Brent Sutter has announced that there might be a new captain and assistants this season. There's a good chance Elias will wear the C again, but Sutter wants the players to work for it- nothing will be handed to them. Several players have been brought up as options for the new leaders, including
Patrik Elias- Wore the C last season, but didn't have a great season, despite leading the team in points and assists. He admitted the C effected his play in the beginning of the season, but he got more comfortable as the season went on.
John Madden- Usually wears an A, but could change that with hard work during camp and the preseason games. Many thought he would wear the C after Stevens.
Colin White- Same as Madden, but might not be the best on ice leader on the team.
Jamie Langenbrunner- Also an A, and showed a lot of leadership on a line with Travis Zajac and Zach Parise last season. A current groin injury might prevent him from impressing in camp and getiing it, though.
Jay Pandolfo- No letter unless one of the above is injured,although he shows leadership on the ice. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem like a top choice in this race.
Sergei Brylin- Pretty much the same situation as Pandolfo. Is a great leader, but he probably won't get it.
Zach Parise- An excellent player who many believe will be the captain in time, but he's a little young right now. He'll wear an A, if anything.
Martin Brodeur- Goalies can't be captain, but some think they should have three alternates, and make Marty the honorary captain of the team. I can't really see this happening, although if goalies could be captain, we wouldn't even be talking about this right now.
Cam Janssen- Why not? He brings energy to the team with his two minutes of ice time a game. And he'll lead the league in goals, assists, points, +/-, PIMs, and game winners, all with his 2 minutes on ice a game. Book it.
I think Elias, Madden and Langenbrunner are the three best choices of those listed, but Langs's groin problems might also cause a problem with him having a chance as captain.
