DatsyukianDekes 2,428 Report post Posted May 30, 2012 Well, it seems the day has come. Who will be the next captain ? Its either going to be Datsyuk or Zetterberg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drwscc 212 Report post Posted May 30, 2012 It's gonna be Setter-bearj. Really the only option. Dats doesn't want it, and there's really noone else that has the skillset Z does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Electrophile 3,554 Report post Posted May 30, 2012 It's been Hank's job since he signed that contract. Pavs will take a permanent A, so will Kronner more than likely. 4 Z Winged Dangler, Cloune, DatsyukianDangles122 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ozone923 31 Report post Posted May 30, 2012 Without a doubt Zetterberg. Pasha is a leader by example, but lets face it, hes not the greatest talker. Zetterberg has all the tools to take the next captaincy. 5 Byorski, DatsyukianDangles122, roboturner and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Copenhagen848 58 Report post Posted May 30, 2012 No doubt it will be Z. I also can see big Bert thrown in the "A" rotation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcom007 1,465 Report post Posted May 30, 2012 Not sure how I feel about Zetterberg as the captain. Wouldn't be terrible, but I don't like that he's our best choice at this point. He's got 95% of what it takes to be a great captain, but there just seems to be something missing. I'm not even sure what it is, but something about it just doesn't feel right to me. 3 WizardOfOz30, btweinberg and Nev reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zetterberg is not a bad choice, but it's not as clear cut as Lidstrom after Yzerman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Wings Addict 787 Report post Posted May 30, 2012 C: Zetterberg A: Datsyuk A: Kronwall A: Cleary Could be that way. The 4th A could go to Filppula as well. Both Cleary and Fil are due for new contracts. Fil seems like the better long-term investment. 1 Motown4013 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Wings Addict 787 Report post Posted May 30, 2012 Did the wings rotate the A this season between 3 people? Or was it just Pav and Z? Kronwall had an A for seemingly the entire season. Honestly I felt like he had it on every game. I think they wanted to make it clear to him how much they value him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What if they were to offer the C to Zach Parise if he becomes a wing? Think that would offend anyone? 1 DatsyukianDangles122 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
