...well, we'll find out tomorrow according to Fox Sports.

The article also mentions Laine and Meyers as possibly being in the running for the C too - so take the source for what it is.

Laine and Myers?  That's ridiculous. 

Laine? Oh man, that would be hilarious.

"Hello, my name is Patrik, I'm your new captain. Which locker is mine?"

Blake Wheelers name has been floating around since Ladd got traded and with training camp vastly approaching talk is that he will be the next captain, best get it out of the way dont what it to become a training camp thing

Agreed.

I have to ask, does anyone care? I know it's offseason, so it's going to get big play, but does anyone (fans) care if it's Wheeler or Sheif? Is it worth all the attention it's going to get in the media?

Are you new to Winnipeg...?  Yes, everyone cares.

Can't go wrong with either of those guys though, I believe it will be Wheeler.

Me personally, nope don't care.  If Mark Stuart's named captain, then maybe.

If it's Wheeler, they're putting the C on their best player.

If it's Scheifele, it's their highest ceiling player, signed to the most term.

Both make sense.

Frankly if they sign Trouba to a reasonable deal, they can even name Stu captain for all I care.

Laine for C? hahahaha

Gotta be Wheeler...just has to be.

I'd say Wheeler with an A on Scheif.  if Wheeler leaves the Jets in three years, its an easy transition.

Well.... apparently this isn't very credible at all. I saw it and thought... that's odd considering you would think that the jets would put out a press release about it but they haven't so therefore I don't think it's happening tomorrow but if it does.... 

Guys playing in the WCH like Wheeler and Scheif and Buff are most likely. Apparently it's not true tho

If it is tho.... it's not but if it is... 

Happy Birthday Captain Wheeler 

It's his birthday tomorrow 

Lawless said Jets wont tell him anything so you'd think that indicates some fire with the smoke.  If there was nothing to it, they'd just say "no presser tomorrow". 

Wheeler C, Scheiffle A and maybe Myers A.........I could see Buff with a letter, but he's the kinda guy who doesn't need it. Just let him play the game...he's a leader without needing a letter.

Isnt Toby an A?  Would they remove it?  I suppose if they have a new captain, the logic might be to reassign all of them.  Buff did have an A at one point if I recall.

Fox source on this BS.... jets whiteout. Com 

 

Ya its BS

Last year Ladd C Wheeler A Stuart A , first years they had rotating A home and away

Little is another one I could see having a letter. And Toby is another good suggestion. The one thing about this Jets team, there's a great leadership core. Lot of great character guys.

If 1290 dont have scoop then there's nothing there i would think.

Wheeler C, Scheifele A, Perreault A, Byfuglien A

Toby should be given a "P", for "Pressbox".

Aw Toby had his best year since the first.

I do not think they will announce jack so its moot.

Laine? Too funny.

1290 said they would announce during training camp and only wheeler and sheif are the only guys it can be.

What do you know, I guess that article was on to something...  Local media scooped by Fox Sports.

 

 

Local media scooped by local blogger who writes almost exclusively poor quality articles and was seen as a running joke ...

 

Until he broke this story. (That's who Fox Sports quoted)
