    easy question to answer McD or pointer with kuch and hedy

  2. Franortiz11

    Heddy will have the C
    McD will get heddys – A
    Kuch – A
    If they rotate A with home and away as they did before
    Cirrelli A
    Haggle or point?

    Or kuch will always ware it and McD A alternates with cirelli?

  3. McD just got back. I know he’s played in Tampa before but that was 3 seasons ago. There’s only 8 guys still here from his time. Might not be as easy a choice as we expect. That being said, McD, Cirelli, and Point are solid choices. I would say Nick Paul would be a really good choice.

    Captain: Hedman

    Alternates: McDonagh, Point, Kuch, Cirelli (home/away rotation)

  5. Heddy gets the C, Kuch keeps his A, and the last A goes to Mcdonagh, unless Cooper and the coaching staff want it to go to Pointer.

    Heddy was hesitant talking about the “C” in his contract extension presser, I’ll be surprised if he takes it

    If Heddy doesn’t want the captaincy this soon, he will definitely be the unofficial Captain this year but still wear an “A”

    With Mac back in the mix I could see us going back to Home and Away Assistants again which would probably include: Heddy, Mac, Kuch, Tony, and Hagel or Point

  7. Hedman with Kuch and McD (Cirelli if they rotate or someone gets hurt). They were all A’s in the past for the bolts and I don’t really see Guentzel or any new guys getting letter consideration with the leadership group that’s already proven and here.

  8. Hmm everyone is talking through the point scorer but who leads the team and gets along with all. I don’t think it’ll be anyone just recently acquired.

    Maybe cirelli or hagel. Hagel is very outspoken and loved

    I’d say kuch for age reason he can be captain longer.

  10. Last year it was Heddy and Kuch so Kuch is a lock in for the first A. And we know McD was an A the whole time with us so he’s probably a lock too.

    Last year they didn’t have a third A from what I remember. So that might mean they just run with McD and Kuch.

    There’s a lot of talk here about Pointer being named Captain but he needs to be named an A first. And IMO he wouldn’t leap Kuch since they gave him an A first.

    But this is Heddy’s team now and the next C will probably happen when he retires. Which means we’ll have to see who’s on the team when that happens (it’s probably going to be a rebuilding era unless miracles happen.)

    Hedman will wear the C

    Kuch keeps his A and McDonagh gets an A. If we’re feeling wild then Point can finally wear a letter.

    I personally think now that we lost Stammer we need more of our Cup guys (like Point) taking charge and having it be visible for us all.

    Ryan is the next logical choice his age and experience really count on these matters.
