Why Joel Eriksson Ek Should Fill Matt Dumba’s Alternate Captain Role



On today’s episode of Locked on Wild, we fill Matt Dumba’s vacated Alternate Captain spot. We start with Joel Eriksson Ek, and look at the qualities he brings that would be valuable to young prospects joining the team over the next few seasons, such as work ethic, on ice demeanor and the overall way that he plays the game. We also discuss the notion of having more “vocal captains” as opposed to those who “lead by example”. We also discuss the possibility of Jonas Brodin and Kirill Kaprizov becoming Alternate Captains.

  1. Great topic, Seth 😉
    I agree 100%. Your top 3 are my top 3 as well.
    I went this order:
    1st Ek (clear choice)
    2nd Kirill (the franchise)
    3rd Brodin (underrated Mr steady)
    Had we asked this question a season or 2 ago Foligno wouldve made my list, but now not so much.

  2. Brodin is my pick. Also I saw Sundqvist signed a 1 year deal with the the blues for only 775k. Seems kinda cheap and an offer we maybe should have made. Thoughts?

  3. My exact order as well 💯.
    It is nice to have one D and one forward as captains in my opinion.

  4. Personally, I think you should have command of the English language if you're going to be a Captain. KK still uses interpreters and isn't comfortable with the language yet. JMO
