Babcock said the other day that Zetterberg will be the next captain. Lidstrom said he endorsed him to replace him too.

I think Kronwall will be alternate with Datsyuk

cool, thanks! seems exactly right IMO. still, i really hope Helm develops his game enough to one day wear the C after Zett. his injury this past year showcased how the team isn't the same without him on the ice.

still, there's hopefully many years till then and the Wings will hopefully have even better players by then.

I'm not keen on a current Wings player getting the C. The team needs a new attitude. They've grown stale over the last two years. They're not going to get that with another even-keeled player like Z. My hope is they sign Parise or Suter and make them captain.

The Red Wings will never make a 1st year player on the team the captain. They have too much respect for their own veterans and they always promote from within.

when they signed Chelios, He had been Chicagos Captain for over a decade, yet when he joined the wings they made him wait 2 years before giving him the A.

I don't personally think that attitude was a problem this past season, I think that Det. Simply wasn't very good..add in the fact that most of their best players were hurt for an extended period of time and you won't do very well.

They did not have the depth. Injuries hurt them big time as well. They sure could use a sniper.

Zetterberg is a good choice...He deserves it..

I dream about getting Suter and ZP... OMG that would sure help the lose of NL..

Definately Hank deserves it. Kronwall is a good one to wear the A too.
