Not much to discuss really...who else on the team could carry the "C"?

Adam Foote?

Yep.

Really who else is there? At least Nash will be there for a while, and he is the face of the franchise. Thats the new trend, anyway.

Definitely Nash will get it, if it goes to anyone it's blasphemy.

Good. I hope it lights a fire in the guy. When he's on, he's fun to watch.

Reading that report I was actually shocked he is still just 23 years old. Feels like he´s been around for ages. Edit: To stay on topic. I guess Peca would have been an option.

I personally thought Peca should have gotten the "C", but he probably didn't because he doesn't have a contract for next year. Hitchcock said earlier that they wouldn't name a new captain till training camp, so this was a bit of a suprise.

"I'm not going to be a magic captain," Nash said. "I'm not going to step in and guarantee anything . . . The biggest plus is I'm going to be here for a long time and be the captain for a long time."

This is the most important part for Jackets fans. Hopefully he steps up his play and stays in Columbus long-term.

Congrats Rick, it's your turn to Carry the Flag. Just don't get traded like our other 4 captains.
