Jimmy Pop Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 ...well, we'll find out tomorrow according to Fox Sports. The article also mentions Laine and Meyers as possibly being in the running for the C too - so take the source for what it is. http://www.foxsports.com/nhl/story/winnipeg-jets-naming-captain-tomorrow-083016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCon Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Laine? Oh man, that would be hilarious. "Hello, my name is Patrik, I'm your new captain. Which locker is mine?" Atomic, IC Khari and Brandon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to ask, does anyone care? I know it's offseason, so it's going to get big play, but does anyone (fans) care if it's Wheeler or Sheif? Is it worth all the attention it's going to get in the media? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, everyone cares. Can't go wrong with either of those guys though, I believe it will be Wheeler. Mark F, BigBlueFanatic and Goalie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me personally, nope don't care. If Mark Stuart's named captain, then maybe. If it's Wheeler, they're putting the C on their best player. If it's Scheifele, it's their highest ceiling player, signed to the most term. Both make sense. Frankly if they sign Trouba to a reasonable deal, they can even name Stu captain for all I care.

The Unknown Poster Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 I'd say Wheeler with an A on Scheif. if Wheeler leaves the Jets in three years, its an easy transition. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Well.... apparently this isn't very credible at all. I saw it and thought... that's odd considering you would think that the jets would put out a press release about it but they haven't so therefore I don't think it's happening tomorrow but if it does.... Guys playing in the WCH like Wheeler and Scheif and Buff are most likely. Apparently it's not true tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 If it is tho.... it's not but if it is... Happy Birthday Captain Wheeler It's his birthday tomorrow The Unknown Poster and bustamente 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Lawless said Jets wont tell him anything so you'd think that indicates some fire with the smoke. If there was nothing to it, they'd just say "no presser tomorrow". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Wheeler C, Scheiffle A and maybe Myers A.........I could see Buff with a letter, but he's the kinda guy who doesn't need it. Just let him play the game...he's a leader without needing a letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Isnt Toby an A? Would they remove it? I suppose if they have a new captain, the logic might be to reassign all of them. Buff did have an A at one point if I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Little is another one I could see having a letter. And Toby is another good suggestion. The one thing about this Jets team, there's a great leadership core. Lot of great character guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
