With Pavel Kubinas trade deadline come and gone it looks like he may be set to become the Toronto Maple Leafs next captain.
I wanted to take this chance to talk about who you think will be the next Captain of Toronto and what part of there game makes them the best candidate. I will give you the choices and some of there career stats and you write in the comments about who you would pick and why.
D Pavel Kubina:
GP: 664
Goals: 83
Assists: 187
Points: 270
+/-: -87
1 Stanley Cup and is a great PP specialist has one of the most amazing shots in the NHL and can carry the minutes on most teams. Last year was a career year for Kubina I think he has to be one of the better choices for captain.
F Mark Bell:
GP: 445
Goals: 87
Assists: 95
Points: 182
+/-: -45
While Mark is still young he has one of the biggest hearts in the NHL and will go above and beyond for his team mates. He may be having some trouble with the law but he seems to have put that behind him. I think now that he has spent 1 year in Toronto and the pressure lifted from him I think he may have a better year this time around.
F Matt Stajan:
GP: 314
Goals: 56
Assists: 71
Points: 127
+/-: 5
This Kid is the heart and soul of the Toronto Maple Leafs plain and simple! While he is still young he is already the teams NHLPA rep and is respected throughout the dressing room. While I personally think he may still be a little green to be the captain of this team he really does show that he could do it if put upon him.
D Tomas Kaberle:
GP: 681
Goals: 69
Assists: 333
Points: 402
+/-: 51
What more can be said about one of the best Dmen in the league he is greatly under appreciated in the NHL and often gets looked over when it comes to the Norris Trophy. My personal opinion he is a little soft in his own end and really needs to take more shots on the PP. Look for him to get a serious look at when the captain is chosen.
F Jamal Mayers:
GP: 595
Goals: 71
Assists: 87
Points: 158
+/-: -78
Grit, Smash mouth, in your face style hockey is exactly what Mayers is all about he will flourish under Wilson and will relish in the fact that he is playing in his native Toronto. I think he would be a great choice for captain.
Anyways everyone these are my personal favorites and would love to see anyone of these guys take the reigns. While there may be some downsides to each and everyone of these players that shouldn't matter because they are all about the game and the heart that it takes to play it. If you think I left anyone off please feel free to add someone in the comments section.

Are people really this immature REALLY???
I can't believe people actually consider themselves adults when they talk like this on the internet thanks for coming guys. You turn an article into Blah Screw you and blah get off the internet Blah!
Man you guys are the ones needing to get off the internet not me.
no actually, your writing sucks. your rumours are false and i could swear you're 13 years old. you've clearly never see the leafs play and you should try watching a game now and then. what a waste of a blog. this is all because you were retarded enough to put mark bell as a candidate for captain. grow a pair and admit your sources for rumours are imaginary.
