The Next Captain

More from Predlines

There have even been talks about Pekka Rinne as captain.  There is a league rule that states that the Goaltender is not allowed to be captain as in the past, goalies would come out to talk to the Refs instead of using a timeout.  Somehow, Vancouver got around that by naming

Roberto Luongo

for two seasons but it isn’t ideal.

There are so many talented players on the Preds roster that there could be a number of captains. Whichever player the team decides on will no doubt be a good choice with the hopes that the captain will lead the team to the promised land of winning the Stanley Cup.
