trule23 119 Report post Posted October 24, 2014 After hank, dats, and kronner who do you guys think the captains will be? I know its hard to say right now cuase we could make trades and have new faces but lets face it holland manages this team so trades more than likely wouldnt be that big, so given the kids and what we have in GR who do you guys think will be the future leaders of this team?

T.Low 1,011 Report post Posted October 24, 2014 C - Dekeyser A - Nyquist A - Abdelkader Definitely a good call at this early stage. Who is sitting next to Z in the room? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheelchairsuperhero 1,453 Report post Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) I don't know about the A's but I see Nyquist being Captain. He just seems to have that demeanor we've come to expect with Wings. Edited October 24, 2014 by Wheelchairsuperhero Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted October 24, 2014 I've envisioned Nyquist. He handles himself well in public. Seems a lot like Z was back in the day. 1 Wheelchairsuperhero reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rick zombo 3,739 Report post Posted October 24, 2014 If Babs is still the coach in a few years? 1. Glendenning 2. Helm 3. Nestrasil 3 WingFanInLA, trule23 and Rick D reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DeGraa55 Report post Posted October 24, 2014 I think nyquist will be the next captain. I hope he is the A after dat retires. Then if you look at the current roster. I say dekeyser is one A The other is smith or helm(if he is still playing with the wings). Or through trade or call up(mantha). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trule23 119 Report post Posted October 24, 2014 ^^^^hilarious i was thinking dekeyser, or nyquist as captain then smith/mantha/ C-nyquist A-deke A-mantha (if he pans out) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
13dangledangle 968 Report post Posted October 24, 2014 I would say right now Nyquist is a great choice, I thought Tatar would have had a better start but he has the poise to carry the C too...and who knows how Mantha will play out as well, he could play his way into a captaincy role!

Wingsfan72 198 Report post Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) I've been waiting a long time for someone to make this thread. Hands down I believe DeKeyser will be the captain of this team after Z retires. Michigan boy, hell of a player, and he has a great work ethic. Plus he was captain at WMU, I believe, so he's been in the leader role before. C- Dekeyser A- Nyquist A- Smith/Abby I could see Mantha getting an A if he pans out. He composes himself very well for someone so young. Same with Oullet and Sproul. Very excited for the next generation of Wings! Nastasiuk shows a lot of promise as a Draper-type leader as well, imo.

Guest DeGraa55 Report post Posted October 24, 2014 Problem with dekeyser is that he isn't Swedish and if babs is still here I think nyquist gets it. Specially him being patient with Hollands mistakes last season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BamaWing 37 Report post Posted October 24, 2014 McDavid I just wanted to say that. Nyquist is my choice. I hope Larking turns out to be a player that can be in the discussion for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rick zombo 3,739 Report post Posted October 24, 2014 Based on what I’ve seen and heard, I think Larkin, Ouellet, and maybe Nastasiuk are all ‘born leader’ types. But we all know, deep down, that the next captain will be Tyler Myers 1 kipwinger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rick zombo 3,739 Report post Posted October 24, 2014 You forgot Cleary. Those guys you mentioned are all just assistants, right? They’ll keep Cleary around for leadership. So much so that he’ll be captain. He never plays a game though, and Callahan doesn’t like him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
