sjr2012 439 Report post Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Id say Abby because of the deal Neilsen with a brand new team wouldnt want to come right in and take it Larkin is still young and DDK would be my other choice but Kronwall is A on the Defense and believe will give it to DD when he retires Edited July 2, 2016 by sjr2012 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted July 2, 2016 Abby is a strong choice. He is pretty vocal and seems to be respected by the guys. He does well with the media and (barring a weird trade) will be around for a while.I'd give him the nod. 2 sjr2012 and amato reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Abby or Danny D. both should be here for a long time and seem to be born leaders Larkin is too young he will be captain one day but no need to put any extra pressure on him Edited July 2, 2016 by frankgrimes 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lwing 68 Report post Posted July 2, 2016 Sad to say isn't it, but a huge wake up call - Abdelkader is the ONLY Wings veteran worthy of wearing the A based on his performance, effort and consistency. If not him, a kid like Larkin is the way to go. It is way overdo for this time to look ahead and dump the past. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheXym 2,606 Report post Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Abdelkader. DD will get the defensive A when Kronwall retires. His contract term pretty much foreshadowed his getting it, IMHO. Larkin is a bit young for one yet, IMHO. I actually wouldn't be surprised to see Larkin get the C when Hank retires, though.

kickazz 5,459 Report post Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) For now, I wouldn't be surprised if Neilsen gets the A. I remember when Alfredsson came here, he immediately got the A when Datsyuk got injured. But the *obvious* answer seems like it will be Abby. But I voted Larkin just to be creative. Edited July 2, 2016 by kickazz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jesusberg 1,256 Report post Posted July 2, 2016 Abdelkader is the odds-on favorite, but I wonder if they might decide to rotate it between him and DeKeyser. As mentioned, DD is probably next in line for Kronwall's letter. Agree that it's too early to put a letter on Larkin - might add pressure, and there's no reason to do it just yet.IIRC, didn't Tampa Bay rotate one of their "A's" throughout the entire season? Not saying it's how Detroit should go about it, I just recall reading it somewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

13dangledangle 968 Report post Posted July 2, 2016 Being that Larkin is the future C, and Zetterberg in all honesty is less then 5 years out...Id be giving the A to Dylan Larkin, then the C in a few years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
