I'm taking Joe Sakic.

Great player. Hard Worker. Humble. And most importantly, a winner.

Well, I have heard some excellent suggestions..Lindy, Chara, Toews, Backes, Alfi, etc. Here is where I draw the line however. If we are talking top 5, this wouldn't matter. But any top 10 list has to include Shea Weber. I would put him at 9th or 10th at the moment. Weber has to lead a team past the 2nd round for him to get any further on the list. And it wouldn't hurt if he resigned with Nashville to prove he is for the team and not just himself. But to even suggest Callahan is the best Captain? Not sure about that. I wouldn't put him ahead of Weber at this point in his career for sure. If he leads NYR to the Cup, my impression will change. But NYR's haven't exactly been a playoff juggernaut recently.

a majority of the team have only played in 1 playoffs or none with the rangers...

the way i look at is , Rangers have to play twice as hard to win , look how many ot games they are apart of, the min play offs start all teams will be going for gold. Rags are out 1st round vs Buff. The lack of talent in the line up will catch up to these guys watch , March will be a Disaster for NYR.

What the f are you talking about? You should so some research before you spout this garbage. The Rangers lead the leauge in regulation wins. As your the Ranger's "lack of talent", well, I'll let your stupidity speak for itself.

No, he is a very good captain but he also has a supporting cast of vets like Lundvqusit, Richards, Gaborik, Girardi, and Rupp. Not to mention, he plays for the best coach in the NHL. Tortorella has made a HUGE impact on this team! They are nowhere without him.

I think a guy like Shane Doan deserves the nod. He has played on teams that lacked talent and payrolls his whole career yet his teams overachieve.
