He is everything the Leafs need in a Capitan. Internally, there really isn't much there. Tucker would have been my next choice, but we know how that pans out. After years of Sundin's quite yet steady leadership, I think it is time for a more dynamic personality to take over.Jaredoflondonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15068330186764290021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8623422446875006523.post-29256504671489646962008-06-26T18:09:00.000-07:002008-06-26T18:09:00.000-07:00Good Blog.

First time poster here, and of course miserable leaf fan...<BR/>I always believed that you should promote a captain from within, not airlift a mercenary. Roberts and Carter are both good leaders,but they are not 'mapleleafs' and I think Stajan is not quite ready for prime time. So that leaves only one other logical choice.<BR/>Thomas Kaberle. He has put in solid loyal years with the leafs and is an assistant captain now.<BR/>He may not be the most dynamic captain of all time but he has earned the honour honestly. He loves being a leaf,and is arguably their best player right now, and I think he would really step up if given the C.<BR/>With Sundin around, he probably deferred to him - who wouldn't?<BR/>Anyway, TK gets my vote.taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08687134609067043590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8623422446875006523.post-48816711697440993382008-06-24T11:22:00.000-07:002008-06-24T11:22:00.000-07:00Roberts as captain is a great call.

Not sure I'm ready for Stajan to wear the "C'.<BR/>Nolan made less then 2M last year and scored 16 goals, 3 game-winners.<BR/>Mike Peca was 1.3M, 34 points, 3 game-winners, kills penalties, takes face-offs.<BR/>Jason Smith less then 2M last year, tough as nails defenceman that we should have never let get away.<BR/>Seems there's quite a lot you could get for 4M, and that's just looking at former Leafs. What about Shanahan? We don't need a leader who's going to make a difference <I>now</I>, just a lasting impression for the future.
