bonan78 1 Report post Posted May 31, 2009 Obviously, Zetterberg gets the "C" Datsyuk is one "A" I think either Kronwall, Filppula or Franzen gets the other "A", in that order. Also, look for Ericsson or Helm to letter in a few years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Give Holmstrom the C. No but really, I think it's more likely a vetran guy like Rafalski or Kronwall gets the 2nd A but you never know who leads in the locker room and what not.

Bluedevils_13 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2009 (edited) Hilarious. I wouldn't mind seeing Holmstrom get it, but I think Rafalski would definitely be a good fit. Edited May 31, 2009 by Bluedevils_13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shoe 165 Report post Posted May 31, 2009 looks good to me but with a little modification... Zetterberg - C Datsyuk - A Draper then Helm - A ( when Draper retires) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Z Winged Dangler 2,082 Report post Posted May 31, 2009 by the time lids hangs em up, draper will be long gone. drapes and cheli have A's, and the wings usually have 3 or 4 of them C - Hank A - Dats A - Hossa (if he's there) A - Helm/Franzen/Cleary...who on the wings isn't a good candidate?

Jake Ryan 1 Report post Posted May 31, 2009 I hope the Wings always have a Red Wings only player as their captain. That would be a cool tradition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShanahanMan 473 Report post Posted May 31, 2009 What's wrong with NOW? Eh. Just doesn't seem quite right to talk about who's gonna be replacing Nick's letter in the middle of the SCF's where he's the captain. I think this thread belongs in the offseason.

Electrophile 3,554 Report post Posted May 31, 2009 I think it's appropriate for your letters to be long-term players, guys who will be here the entirety of their careers. I won't speculate who will get what because there's no indication that Nick is going anywhere right now. That said, I think the players who choose to spend their whole careers here and in the process take less money than they could get elsewhere because they have a true love for this franchise, should get rewarded with leadership roles. Because that to me shows true character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C-TownWing 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2009 Assuming no Lids or Draper, I'll vote for Cleary. Not a Wings lifer, but a definite character guy who knows the price you have to pay because he's been on both sides of it. Don't rule out Hossa if we re-sign him, he's completely bought into the Red Wings Way, IMO. I freaking love Helm and he could be a candidate if we're not making this call for a couple years, but it's a tad premature now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Z and D for the C 712 Report post Posted May 31, 2009 (edited) I'm sorry, but LOL @ Helm being the next alt. captain. He's an awesome player, but you're not going to give someone the A just because the fans like them. The firsty reply is the best one. I would say Kronner/Rafski.
