[El-Bashir] Carbery said the alternate captain’s ‘A’ that Backstrom has worn since 2010-11 will be shared on an alternating basis by Wilson and Oshie.

    I understand they both deserve it but the concept of “sharing” it is dumb.

    Love the choice, but not the circumstances 😔

    What, are we timesharing who the As are? I think either of those players would do a fine job but I wish we’d just pick one

    Literal freight train man rocket Stanley cup champion alternate -captain-every-other-game Tom Wilson

    So Oshie gets it when he’s healthy and Wilson gets it the other 80% of the games?

  6. I thought that Oshie already had one. I forgot that Carlson has it instead.

    Oshie is the man. Skilled vet with insane career. I never considered him as alternate captain over Tom Wilson but I definitely see the reasoning the more I think about it.

    Who would you guys pick?

  8. At this point, based off of the signing this summer and everything we’ve heard from GMBM, it seems like Wilson is the future captain in waiting. I’m not sure why we wouldn’t just go ahead and give him the A now and start the process.
