The Next Captain For Columbus: 5 Concrete Choices

[ross10019]

I'd pick Jack Johnson, after what he did in the playoffs last year, heart and soul Blue Jacket. But it could easily be Dubinsky. Either is a very good choice.

I don't profess to know either of these guys all that well, but I just get a feeling that being named Captain wouldn't affect JJ's game as much as it would Dubi. I love the way both of these guys play and either would be a great choice for the C in my opinion.

How is a potential downward PIM trend a negative change for Dubinsky from the team's perspective? If they give him the C and he spends less time in the box, wouldn't that be a win-win?

I was only speaking from a fantasy perspective regarding the penalty minutes. Clearly, if Dubinsky were to spend less time in the box, it would benefit the team. Again, I really like both of these guys. CBJ is building something decent here.

I see Dubinsky dawning the. HE possess (imo) confidence and great leadership skills.

I like Dubinsky for this as well - seems to be the type of player that is generally "captain material".
