Karine Hains: Who Will Wear the C? Hughes said it when he was appointed, but shipping Webber’s contract out of town made it even clearer, there will be a new captain in Montreal this upcoming season.

ok, I'll do it.

Edmundson, until Guhle is ready

as long as the players are down with it, Edmundson seems to make a whole lot of sense, I agree

everyone seems to think Suzuki will get it. I just wanted to point out that maybe he's not alone in the race

I'd like the team to choose their captain, if everyone in the dressing room would like Suzuki as their leader then so be it. in 2 years Guhle would be 22, that's way too young to be captain of the habs imho, even if he's very mature and does have great leadership qualities.

although if Suzuki isn't all that interested, it could make sense to have Edmundson as captain for the next 4 or 5 years, and then bring up Guhle when he's ready...

We don't even know how he will do in the NHL yet....

My only issue with Edmundson is that he becomes potentially becomes a deadline deal, maybe not this year, but next.

I think he'll be a stud, but I'm aware that's my very biased habs fan point of view talking lol

at some point you gotta keep at least 1 solid veteran on the backend, no?

He got most of his points once St-Louis got in near the end of the season. Maybe he bounces back. That would only raise his value anyway.

yeah, him bouncing back would definitely be a plus for the habs, whether he stays or not.

Gallagher no?
