Tanguay isnt the kind of player we need, way too soft

Werd. Tanguay is a bum. He's not the type of player that makes other players better. He needs to play with good players in order to be successful and quite frankly we don't have that somebody to make him an asset to us.

Hell no.

If people here are already ragging on Kovalev, Afinogenov is 10x worse. He's the ultimate example of a guy who could care less about work ethic or winning. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if he was the next guy to bolt to the KHL. Only reason to take him is if he's willing to sign for under 2 mil per season.

So who's the captain of team Canada?

Pratt said that Crosby has to be a serious contender

Probably Sakic if he's in.

I'd nominate Sakic as always, but the only problem is if he can play. Otherwise I'd nominate Iginla.

youve got Sakic, Iginla, Doan, Crosby, and Neidermeyer to choose from imo

Shane Doan has captain experience.
Hes a solid 2 way player, give him the C and Crosby the A, If Sakic is on the team an A, if not then Iginla.

i dont want to see Doan wear the C in Van

give Luongo the "C"

I'd give it to Iginla.. but thats just me

i say no to shane doan and sakics milage is a little high imo

Give it to Iginla! He is the one Flamer that I respect.

niedermayer or iginla would be my only choices.

i would totally go for iggy...i'll never forget the class he showed making the flamers come back out to shake lindens hand on his last name...great classy guy

Give it to Iginla!

I personally think Crosby has earned the C for team canada yet and if he gets it I shall be pissed off.

I like the way you think. Sakic would be my first choice, if not, then either of those two. I don't think you could find three other guys who embody leadership on that team than those three. If Crosby gets it (which he won't) I'd be pretty choked. He's not a true leader yet, and the only reason he got the C in Pittsburgh is so A)they could sell some more jerseys, and B)so they could add "Youngest Captain in league history" to his soon to be prestigious resume. I think he only beat out Lecavalier by only a few days, or weeks?

Niedermayer - because he's won everything

then Sakic, Iginla.

LOL @ username and av

mitchells gna shit the bed this year bigtime

They want to engrave Crosby into legend

hopefully team canada picks the right type of players this team
i remember in 2006 it was like all power forwards LMAO

Are you saying the players earnings are post-tax?

I'm getting all excited for Chicago's mistake.

If the NHL tries to sweep it away or hide it without any penalties to Chicago, I can pretty much guarantee the NHLPA will file something against it. I would love for the NHL to just go hard on them and essentially make those players into UFA.

Again, if this happens, Gillis should be taking a MAJOR look into players like Barker and Versteeg. I would sign Barker to a LONG ASS MOTHER FUCKING CONTRACT.
