I'm going to take a guess and say Ryan O'Reilly gets the C when he signs his contract and Gus gets an A

Did you know that some of us "concrete guys" sell our homes in Clarence to Buffalo Sabres and Buffalo Bills?
Just asking.....

Unless Gionta gets moved, he's keeping the C.

Tear if off Gionta already?

C - Gionta

I don't see them falling off, I do see the Lightning being better though.

I agree, Tampa showed more than I thought of them in the Finals. Especially that Victor Hedman, dude was a skating beast at 6'6" 230pds.

He looks as good as Pronger in his prime!

who said Brian Gionta is Captain? I'm kind of confused why you guys have him as captain? whole new coaching staff he probably wants to pick his own captain

Hedman will have a better career than Pronger IMO.

New coaching staff does not take letters away like that especially to a guy like Gionta

I think part of it has to do with how bad the entire roster was.

I could see him contributing 40-45 points next year

I don't agree with that if it weren't for the concussions he would still be playing and be a pain in the ass And a force

my lines right now

kane-ror-ennis
moulson-eichel-reinhart
mcginn-girgens-gionta
deslaurers-larsson-foligno

I can easily see larsson as 3rd line center if they tweak here or there, and put girgens on the wing

girgens will get 17 plus a minute no matter where they slot him

no I'm mad because he didn't try in the beginning of the year

his motivation came when the booing came and that's what pisses me off

I imagine they roll top 3 fairly even.

EDIT: With Byslma past history, I wouldnt be surprised to see Eichel and Reinhart switched with Girgs and Gionta
