Neighbours should be our next captain

[Galatians221jb1]

If Schenn is traded I think Jake is the best choice. He’s all over the place, sets the pace and has the intensity

[schwartzwatch]

He should be our CURRENT captain ...but you have to do what you have to do.

[John Cocktoastin]

It's pretty much a given.

[ratonmono2]

I think that's a given. Nobody else aside from Thomas fits the bill.

[Lets_Clinch]

Nobody else fits the bill including Thomas-Jake has it all to be a great Captain.

I don't disagree that Jake has the potential to be a great captain. Don't you think he should get an "A" before he gets the "C" though? Parayko or Thomas get's the "C" before Jake. Give him an "A" when Faulk is gone and let the kid grow into it a bit. Think of how that gets received in the locker room if he gets appointed as Captain over 2 Cup champs that have been Alternates for several years. That is a lot of pressure on him that he does not need and likely does not want. Just my opinion however.

If Schenn gets traded I would assume it goes to Thomas but I would be shocked if Neighbours didn’t get upgraded to an “A.”

[John Cocktoastin]

To me, Parayko and Thomas have no business being a captain. They don't have it in them. Especially Thomas. No way.

If they are truly ushering in this new era of players - Neighbours, Snuggerud, Mailloux, Broberg, Hofer - as Army has stated, the only logical guy to carry that forward is Neighbours.

And I have no problem slapping that letter on his chest. Heck, he's already the de facto leader on this team.

Enough of the coddling; Neighbours is the future C after Schenn, Thomas and Parayko’s feelings be damned.

Parayko's too soft-spoken to be a captain. I'd have to agree that among this group, Jake's the best candidate.

He's got fire, skill, voice, not afraid to do all the things a leader needs to do. He's a little young, but still the best choice as of now.
