I think Caps next captain is Tom Poti or Mike Knuble. Ovie's not a captain.philou21 wrote:So the Caps drop Jurcina and Clark to CLB for Chimera. The trade sounds weird to my ears, maybe just to save some cap? So who's gonna be the new captain of the Capitals? I don't think Ovy is ready for that.
Nice to see him playin' well again Vaclav Prospal is out about 3 weeks 
Maybe the jackets will be going after Schneider since he wants out of van so he can get more icetime.Hypnotist wrote:I just saw the CBJ-Caps trade and I agree with philou, just sounds weird. The Caps get some breathing space cap-wise, but what does this give the Jackets? Leadership and another middling defenseman? One of the guys on Versus quoted Howson as saying they needed a top four d-man, but Jurcina is not a top 4 guy (I would agree) so maybe another deal in the making? But other than financially, this deal doesn't make a lot of sense for either team.

Hopefully Caps don't take those polls seriously. I don't want to see Ovie with C, Caps have better captain candidates.McQwak wrote:Or that Alex "purple t-shirt" SeminJypfan92 wrote:I think Caps next captain is Tom Poti or Mike Knuble.

On Capitals web page, Ovechkin leads fans poll for the next captain.
He has a lots of NHL-experience. My own favourite is Tom Poti, Ovie and Knuble would be alternatives.The Hutch wrote:Knuble for captain? Only way I would endorse Ovie for captain is if it's what the players wanted. They hopefully will go by a team vote.
At 40 I wouldn't call Schneids a top-4 d-man either. Plus, I don't see Howson dealing for an old player like this. His trade style leans heavily towards young 2nd tier talenteric1985 wrote:Maybe the jackets will be going after Schneider since he wants out of van so he can get more icetime.Hypnotist wrote:I just saw the CBJ-Caps trade and I agree with philou, just sounds weird.

Certainly, being the face of the franchise and it's difference maker will go a long way. I'd protest more if they had a stronger vet who'd make a better captain a la Dave Andreychuk.batdad wrote:Ovie will be the captain. No question in my mind. He is the face of the franchise. I mean, other than die hard hockey fans who the heck would have thought Chris Clark was their captain.
IMHO--Caps made a HORRIBLE trade. Clark is a great character guy. Chimera is fast. End of story.
You can't put him to checking line, he is awful in defense. Better to use him in 1-2 lines and pp units or give him free tickets to Bruins games.Thornhill wrote:Or maybe not, if Satan plays like last year, the most likely for him is to join the 4th line.
