Wasn't a big fan of Dion the player but I don't think he did a bad job as captain. Win or lose (and there was a ton of losing), he was answering questions and taking the load off the rest of the team from the press. I don't recall him ever throwing anyone from the team under the bus. |

i agree in some ways - dion was great with the fans and media.
dion would legit sign kids hats, jersey's, take pics with them, etc...
he would be last one on the bus because of it.
so i give credit to big D there. His play/fighting for his teammates wasn't exactly up to my standards |

Eh, If Dion had a better team surrounding him people would say he was a great captain.
I think Rielly should be Leafs captain, but have my doubts it'll end up being him. |

One of the reasons I think Dion got the C was that he came from a rabid Canadian fan base and so he was acclimated to the expectations and scrutiny that comes with playing in a market like that.
I also think he learned a helluva lot from Jerome in Calgary on how to handle things.

I would go with Reilly - Popcorn Kid
I agree. Rielly would be my #1 choice.
But I don't think it'll be him. I think it'll be Matthews and I have no problem with that. |

If now is the time to name a captain I think it has to be JT and/or Rielly. The kids are looking out for themselves right now and that's fine but that doesn't equate to captain type poop (whatever that even is).
It sounds like MM's primary goal is to get a short term prove-he's-the-best deal. I don't think 8 years is an option (for any of the RFA's). |

Was listening to radio this morning and they were talking about Marner's camp wanting AM money.
So they broke it down to scoring chances created. Top3 in the NHL were McDavid, Crosby, AM.
Tavares was 2nd on Leafs, and 12th or 13th in NHL.
3rd on Leafs was...Nylander, ranked 21st in NHL.
4th on Leafs was Marner, 29th in NHL, and just ahead of Kadri.
Point and Aho were in the teens, and actually Timmo Meier, who just signed a 4yr $24mil contract was also above Marner.
AM for Captain. |

tough.
long-term, no-brainer is matthews. he's not a 2nd fiddle.
short-term, hard not to give it to tavares. he was already captain of the isles.
i do think babs needs to make a move and name a captain before the start of the year.
but babs probably kicks the can down the road. |

I think Marner already has a name, it's "Mitchell" (or more affectionately, "Mitch") - Pat1993
'round these parts, we refer to him as "Mariner" |
