The Next Captain

With Doug Weight gone the captain spot is now vacant and to me their seems to be five likely candidates.

1. Mark Streit
2. Kyle Okposo
3. Josh Bailey
4. John Tavares
5. Matt Moulson

1. Mark Streit- He is the eldest and veteran player on this team he has been there. Wether or not he has the leadership qualities especially not having been on the ice for a year remains to be seen. Streit looks to be the likely candidate and probably will get the option.

2. Kyle Okposo- With the recent news of his 5 year signing he seems to be the future of this club (for now). He will contest Streit and at a minimum wear the "A" this year. Okposo I believe has all of the necessary leadership qualities and would do a fantastic job lacking only experience.

3. Josh Bailey- Given the inferred problems between Bailey and Capuano early last season he is probably out of the running but he would have been my selection.

4.  John Tavares- I think because he is the most skilled player on this team his name is brought into consideration but I think at this stage of his career it is best for John to continue developing.

5. Matt Moulson- A great scholar once said " If it ain't broke, don't fix it"
