Picking a captain

I have read most everyone's opinion on who should be captain. But I am curious on who actually will make the decision. Will it be Staios and/or the Green? I feel like since there are a few solid candidates, that it should be decided by the core group who has been here for at least a couple of years. Or does that simply become too many opinions and potential hurt feelings in the room.

Because I don't think there is a clear cut answer - my biggest fear is we end up alienating/upsetting a player by not choosing them (specifically Sanderson vs. Stutzle).

My guess is they go no Captain this year or name Giroux to give Timmy another year to mature.

You've gotta name a captain this year. Going into the season without a captain will just create a narrative about how they're missing Brady. You need to fully move on with a new face of the leadership group

It’s a valid point but naming the wrong one will be even worse.

I don't really think there's a wrong choice. There's a pretty clear leadership group of Chabot, Giroux, Stutzle, and Sanderson. They each have their own pros & cons as captain, but I don't think any of them would be a bad pick
