joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) Well deserved. The World Cup really showed the respect he has around the league. Everyone that has coached him has spoke about how he puts it all out there every night. Great influence on a young team Edited October 4, 2016 by joesuffP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nyquistfan14 489 Report post Posted October 4, 2016 For me it was between Abby and Nielsen. But I think Nielsen will be a strong leader regardless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chaps80 1,591 Report post Posted October 15, 2016 Dude deserves it. I like when guys that play hard, get respect, and are a good influence on the younger players with regards to work ethic, accountability, and a locker room voice get the "C" and "A", and not just handed it because of their skill even though they might be the quietest guy in the room who won't speak up. Like when Hatcher was captain of the Stars before Modano was. Then Modano only had it for a short time before Morrow was given it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
