Carol Schram: Bo Horvat becomes a married man — Is he also the next Canucks' captain? Long considered the heir apparent to the Vancouver Canucks' captaincy, will Bo Horvat receive that title this fall or has Elias Pettersson shown enough to become a challenger for the "C"?

Bo deserve captain. Oldest, most mature of the new core. Took away video games.

It's pretty much like asking Connor McDavid to go back and play in the u20s after going a ppg in the NHL.

Are you comparing Hoglander putting up 14 pts in the SHL to McDavid being a ppg player in the NHL?

Let's see him play in the AHL before we get too excited.

Clearly i'm going to have to expand my posts. (i'm sure you are all going to be thankful for that)

No i'm comparing McDavid going from a ppg NHL player to go back and play in u20s because he could.

Same as Hoglander scoring 14 points in the SHL and then going back to play against u18 kids.

I'm pretty sure that team Sweden left Holtz and Raymond off their u18 list as well because there really isn't a point in them going to it.

Thanks Carol!

It is a great question. I always have thought that the guys in the room should choose. IMO you know who the captain is when you’re in a room, you know the guys who you want to lead you into war.

Im happy with either. Both are very different and would be great choices and luckily for us both are going to be here a good while and help lead.

Again, as I said, if you agreed he was top 10, you needn't list anyone. The fact that you took the trouble to do so suggested you disagreed with Golfsey. I just thought you couldn't count.

Also, I'm pretty sure all the players you listed are forwards. There's got to be a D or two who are better hockey players than Matty, dropping him further down the list. He might not even be a top 20 player in the league...

You can chose to read that I disagreed with him all you want. The fact is he asked me to name 10 and I couldn't. He took it as I didn't think he was top 10 from me saying that's he's not top 3. I don't know why. So I named the players I thought were ahead of him. There ended up being 9.

Putting defensemen into that list is almost impossible to gauge how much an impact a defencemen has over a forward to a team.

Thx much Carol.

Aquilini will hand Peterrsson the C and Bo will request a trade.

Typical Canucks sh!t.

10 players I think are better than Matthews:
Kuch
Hedman
S.Jones
Mack
Sid
McDavid
Kane
Marchand
Barkov
Johnny

I mean, is he even the best player on his team? I think i might have JT higher than him tbh, much better defender.

I wonder why Bo didn't have more Canucks at wedding? Maybe he knew how bad he dances.

I am not a fan of Bo for Captain , I think Petey will rise as team leader this year. Bo comes across to m as a nerd.

Bo's maturity shows he is ready...Petey is not IMO.

Bo is the only choice for captain Carol. There are NO other candidates. I know Bo a little bit and he is a great kid a great leader.

Needed for captain quality.

Thanks Carol!

Markstrom is really the natural choice for captain. He's the only guy to speak his mind and the guys really look up to him.

Petey did ask "How about getting me some real forwards"

I love a good confident swagger so long as it doesn’t go too far

Thanks Carol,

Bo still has the C, he was their MVP last season IMO.
It's impressive that he's 6th in points considering he's player primary with Baertschi his career.

Most the other players have been playing with legit top line talent.

I didnt invite a single co-worker to my wedding. Spend 40 hours a week with them, dont want to see them outside of work . I imagine it's the same with hockey players only worse, spending nearly 24 hours together on road trips, I dont blame him.
