Shanny played slow 'cause he was playing hurt, and still scored 23 goals! If Naslund and Redden are worth the gamble, why isn't Shanny, who has a lot more skill than either of them? Why not one more year to teach the kids how to play Jagrless hockey? I agree that Renney's will have to use him more effectively. Shanny cannot play 18 minutes a game for a whole season, but PK, PP, 3rd/4th line time, and shootouts? Even with an injury last year, he came through more often than not. And give him the C so Drury and Gomez have something to aspire to and someone to learn leadership from. Gimme a break. Who else do we have that can do all that? The kids certainly have talent but what kids don't need to learn patience, fortitude and dedication? MikeyNJ

I do, however, feel Drury would make the better captain. Hopefully, he will be a little more comfortable in his 2nd yr as a ranger. Can't wait til the season starts!

Anybody near Shanny's total, as he supposedly died a slow death throughout the season? How about all our new young acquisitions - how many have his kind of numbers? I'm not saying the team should be built around him, or that he should play 25 minutes a game. The point is he is still a savvy, valuable, versatile contributor who has the guts, skill and determination to help this "young" team where it wants to go. ERF—

I find it weird the same people who wanted the C on shanny now want him off the team. I'm all for shanny if he takes pruchas roster spot. Actually, I really don't know how i feel about him. I like him so much for what he has done, but the back of my mind still has him sucking in the playoffs and missing the net on the power play. I'll let the big guys decide what they want to do and I will probably want the opposite.

Naslund will NOT be the captain, Drury isnt ready or I think even willing to have it this year. And both him and Gomer would FLOURISH at being "A"'a under Shanny for one year. We are all definitely divided on the Shanny front, but let me just add this: Which Kid on our team last year put up 23 goals? NO ONE Which kid this year is going to put up 23 goals at a minimum? Probably NO ONE Resing Shanny/1 year/Captain! And who ever thiks this is Messier all over again is a f@#$ing retard. -He played hurt for almost half the season
-Was the ONLY leader on the team when Jagr wouldnt say shit to the refs
-Fights when he needs to
-EVERYONE on the teams looks up to him, and all his knowledge

And if he’s so slow and washed up, why was he TIED with Drury for goals last season??

And who ever thiks this is Messier all over again is a f@#$ing retard.

Go with three alternate c's and hope someone like Gomez or in a couple of years Dubi steps up and becomes captain. I give nobody the captaincy.

Unless you mean setting records in slowness. I'm a big fan of yours Sam but you come off like such a fanboy when it comes to Shanny and Drury. Shanny did great things in the motor city hea great start in the first 30-35 games of the 06-07 season and fell off big time since.Time to move on. He plays like a old and washed up Mess did let the kids play. I’m not sure what remarkable things he did here? Unless you mean setting records in slowness.
