			<description><![CDATA[ Reasons it makes sense -He is 38 -He is on the decline -He was brought in prior to our team realizing we were rebuilding -We are rebuilding and at this point don't need a 38 year old declining defenceman(we already have our homegrown Phillips) That being said, I can't imagine we move him prior to the trade deadline as no one will want to pay him 5.5 mil for the whole season, when he will likely be available for when he will be needed most trade deadline/playof fs. Our biggest hickup will be needing to bring salary back, I suppose we could try another change of scenery type of deals, it worked beautifully for Turris so far.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Trading Gonchar doesn't make any sense at all. - He's our only puck mover after Karlsson (Imagine if EK gets hurt or struggles as teams will be focusing on him more than ever) Remember our days before Karlsson/goncha r/Kuba when we struggled to get the puck to our forwards, well we're going back to it. - He could still play top 4 minutes - Has good chemistry with Cowen - Hes our only option for the powerplay after Kuba left - We have no one to replace him with - We need his cap hit to reach the floor - Plus I think he will have a better season since he said when signing a contract with us was his desire to play in Sochi in his home country, plus its a contract year, 2 big motivations. Only trade him if Ceci comes in and has an incredible camp.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Karlsson is not ready to be captain. Not even wear an "A" on his chest. Yes, he has that desire to improve and in time might earn a leadership role with this team. But in the last season I saw him take some very undisciplined penalties. Saw him retaliate the way young players do. That shows immaturity that can't be an example to follow. I love Karlsson. But he's not quite ready for that. C - Spezza A - Phillips (til he retires) A - Neil Turris or Cowen after Phillips]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I find it funny when I read that Alfie is playing for $1M this year. He's playing for the final installment of a $14M salary. Just because the contract is front loaded doesn't mean that he's playing for $1M...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[[quote name="Sens4Eva" ]I'm willing to accept Spezza as captain, however, regardless of how "professional" and "vocal" he is I want to see his leadership translate to on ice performance. Being a PPG player means relatively nothing to me, I want to see him step it up in the playoffs like Alfie did we we went to the cup finals.[/quote) I am not too sure how Spezza's performance was soo far below Alfie's during the 07 Playoffs when they finished with the same number of points (Alfie 14/8 Spez 7/15). While I will admit points don't tell the whole picture his performance during the 07 run was very good. Nobody impressed during the finals. The whole team was outclassed by the Ducks. We were not deep or tough enough to win that series. I will admit that his game does not translate well during the uptempo and tight checking playoff hockey and this team will need a very good 2nd line and perhaps even a strong scoring 3rd line to allow Spezza to prosper during future playoffs. He has impressed lately with his growing maturity and his handling of the media (an important captain duty) has become very professional. The younger players obviously look up to Spez and the coaches have now included him amoung the "Leadership Group" of the team. He will be the next captain especially if Aflie and Phillpis retire together.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Downside? Ok I agree he's not 22 but for fuck sakes he's 28 and in his prime...Spezza is hardly on the downside, hell, he's got no help and hit 80+pts, imagine with help? He's far from declining. Not to pick at straws but he's actually 29 not 28 and if Alfie plays healthy this year, it's a good bet that he's back again next year and potentially the year after. Given Spezza's back history, how long do you realistically see him playing? I would imagine that he's done by 35. if and I realize it's a big if Alfie plays another couple years, Cowen may well be that guy. I have no issue with them handing the c to Spezza, I'm just not sure that it's the slam dunk that others believe. Furthermore whether he's the next captain or the next next captain, I believe Cowen will wear the c at some point during his tenure in Ottawa]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Way too early to talk about, Alfie could be around for a few more years so lots can change in time. Spezza if Alfie retires after this season. I love Neil but I can't get there seeing him talking to the refs on the teams behalf. I don't see anyone else at this point other than Spezza. Gonchar will not even be a Senator after this season, kind of have to be on the team. Phillips no Karlsson no (my favorite player) Silverburg??? in time could be. Could be a player that is not even thought about playing here yet.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ this site has all the teams competing and their rosters: http://eurohockey.com/games.html?id_season=2013&id_country=&id_league=1136-u20-national-team-games.html so it is offical, noesen is on the USA roster. sens now have noesen, ceci, puempel(possibl y, needs to have a strong start to the season since he has not earned a spot from his performance last year due to injuries), wikstrand and the biggest question mark for me is zib. It all depends if he makes the roster here or not. I assume the sens would send him to the WJC if he plays this season in bingo. cant find info on why prince wasnt invited/chose to not go. I assume he still has negative feelings towards the US dev. program from last year.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ they look great, i was hoping anderson would go all white which seems to help goalies since players only take a glimpse of the net before shooting. they just see white and let it rip without thinking. love that anderson likes to have team colours while keeping the colours narrow should still give the shooter the open net effect on 5 hole, corners and butterfly. If they did a camparison i'm sure all of the top goalies with the top save percentage use all white pads, its almost cheating but its just an illusion for the shooter. Glad to have andy back!

			<description><![CDATA[noesen made the final USA roster. looking for updates on sweden finland game. so far i know zib started on the 2nd line but was bumped to the top line to play LW with karlsson and forsberg. got an assist playing on top line and is used on the first PP unit. reports suggest that sweden is dominating this tournament and look to be heavy favorites. not hard to be favourites when you have not lost in regulation in 41 straight games.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Huge slap in the face for Spezza, guy has been busting his balls in a city who booed him when he struggled with no help. I though Spezza could have been the captain this year even, Alfie mentioned something of the like but Spezza refused to take it of alfie was around. Spezza is as much class as Alfie and has carried this teeam on his shoulders as much if not more than Alfie. He deserves to be Captain. It amuses me that you read my post and got "Huge slap in the face for Spezza" out of it... wow! You really are a glass half empty kind of guy. Did I say he didn't deserve it? Did I say he didn't bust his balls or carry the team? No, I said picking him would be "obvious" and "safe". You really are a tool. Tookie always finds a way to create confrontation and controversy !! He is an expert at also focussing on "negativity" !! His ultimate motive is to instill debate and discussion !!]]></description>

My thinking on the article (not to take away from the effort in creating it) was not another article about what happens when Alfredson retires. There really is only two choices Spezza or Karlson. There isn't a chance anyone else on the team gets it. As for A's well, who knows who they trade for or sign as a free agent.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I suspect that the team will go with the obvious and safe path for the next captain with Spezza. Alfie is going to be a hard act to follow (if not impossible), so it would be best to go with a safe choice. Whoever they pick will likely struggle to live up to the expectations set by Alfie... The other option might be to go without a captain for a season following Alfie's retirement (ala Leafs following Sundin's departure) to help ease the transition for whoever the next captain might be... and to give the youngsters another year to mature to see if one of them is worthy.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ And who will take up Spezza's #1 C? Turris? Regin? haha come on man you cant be serious. Alfie is so far only playing this year, he is not playing 2-3 more years. We are rebuilding now and in 2-3 years hopefully some prospect will have hit impact status with us and make us contenders, without Spezza, that puts us back atleast another 5 years to find and develop a legit top line centre. You mad bro!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I like Spezza a lot but to be honest I see KARLSSON or maybe (depending on how he looks this year) SILFVERBERG as the next captain. Alfie will play 2 maybe 3 more years depending on his health. Unfortunately I see Spezz traded for quality goods maybe 2 years down the line. Just my opinion hope I don't upset anyone.

			<description><![CDATA[ I'm going to take exception to calling Spezza unmotivated. He's our best forward and I would argue he's one of the guys that cares the most. He's not as physical as some players, but that doesn't mean he's not motivated. Unfortunately, he's a scorer and will be judged on points. There aren't many players that put up points in every single game. A point per game average that Spezza puts up is still pretty amazing.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Neil is the guy who deserves the C, he is the one that stands up for teammates, fights to motivate the team & takes the most punishment to make a play. Unfortunately, though it will go to the well spoken but lazy & unmotivated player like Spezza. They will give him the C with the hope that it motivates him to play harder & at both ends of the ice. I could see that if he can't do more, the fans will turn against him quickly. My guess is Spezza will be the next captain unfortunately & Phillips & Neil as alternate captains. Sad that we don't have enough good young players with leadership qualities yet on this team who can be captains. We traded our best ones in Fisher & Kelly. Greening IMO has the makings of a good captain but I doubt he gets pick after Alfie. Noesen could be a future captain too or Silfverberg if he turns into another Alfie.]]></description>

Giving Sid the captaincy is kinda like in house league the coach giving the C to the best player on the team.

			<description><![CDATA[ Giving Neil the C would be a huge mistake, it would require him to ease up on his play style and thats not what we want from Neil. Not at all...Wendel Clark had his best years as the Captain of the blasted leafs. Neil plays the same style as Clark did! I'm having a hard time believing ppl here are convinced that Karlsson, Cowen, Turris et al should be considered for alternate captain. These guys haven't earned their strips yet. It would be a mistake to give these kids the responsibility of an A or C at such young age. These guys are still trying to figure out the league, let along their role with the team. C - Neil A - Phillips A - Spezza But Sid the kid got captaincy pretty young. Why not if they've got the work ethic and natural leadership?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ He was captain, and as much as I am a fan of his and expect him to succeed in this league it is an absolute tonne to expect him to be captain of our team in the next few years. In theory if Alfie plays 2 more seasons, wouldn't that put him in line with Philips contract expiry?? If they both were to retire at that point I could see Silfverberg being a dark horse for a A.

			<description><![CDATA[Im sorry but it's just not a good idea to have a guy like Neil talking to refs every game. Yes he bleeds Sens and all that good stuff. We all love him and he is definitely a leader but that doesn't mean he needs a letter. A referee needs to respect the teams captain. Some may have respect for Neil but others may completely despise him for all the stuff he has pulled. Yes Neil hasn't ever been suspended but that doesn't mean he doesn't get on the referees nerves. Neil is one of the very best at approaching the line but rarely if ever crossing it. That may be fine and dandy for us and the guys at the league office but when it comes to the refs making judgment calls with him in their face that just won't be in our favor more often than not. I like many things about Spezza being our next captain. For one, players like him who have INSANE skill have a ton of respect from their teammates and others around the league. Even Crosby said that Spezza was his idol when he was growing up and having him as the coach for a CHL all-star game was one of his most memorable hockey experiences. Another is the fact that he seems to have turned the majority of the fans opinion on him. Finally people recognize and appreciate his talent and contributions to the team. He has also clearly matured over the years and really shows that with his composure on the ice and in the media scrums. He is very much used to the media attention. He is one of very few NHLers out there who are candid with the media. That's a HUGE bonus! I think one of the main reasons for all this maturity is because he is now a husband and a father both of which can really turn a mans life around for the better.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Although I agree with your reasoning...it just doesn't happen that someone who plays his style becomes the captain. I wouldn't want to see him change his style of play just to wear a C. With the A it wouldn't be as relevant, hasn't he been the alternative when someone is hurt before?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Chris Neil should be the next captain. He's left enough blood on the ice defending team-mates, getting the crowd amped after fights, even scoring timely goals. The guy is Ol'Time hockey. He has earned the respect of his team (management & players) as well as the fans and media. He's a good canadian boy to captain Canada's team!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[author's list spezza- might be the guy, needs to show more heart in his play, shows it at times but not every night like a captain should phillips- Lets just say philips' play will start to deteriorate soon and you don't want your captain being a liability and possible benched because of his performance in the next few years, your captain should be a goto guy. gonchar- 2013 wont be a sen karlsson- he should be a assistant before even being considered as captain, needs to demonstrate leadership qualities turris- A guy who walked out on his last team and he's not signed past next season... will he be a sen in 2013? i'd hope so but we don't know where turris wants to be. At this point i wouldn't even consider him for an assistant until he shows more dedication to the organization and on the ice. He's currently showing he'll dedicate himself to Ottawa but how much $$$ will he want next season? would the sens pay him $6 mill a season if he wanted it? i'm not sure they would. guys who play with heart, michalek,neil,s mith,cowen,karl sson,daugivins these guys take a beating and keep ticking, a captain is a guy who leads by example and knows the rules of the game, not always the best player.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[If I hear that Alfredsson is ONLY making 1 million this year again, I'm going to croak. As we all know, his contract was structured that way and his average salary is much more than that. He's been a very good captain and citizen for Ottawa and the Senators. He has also been very well compensated by the Sens over the course of his career. The only blemish on his resume here would be his inability to lead some very talented teams to a Stanley Cup.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I think Cowen may creep into the conversation over the next year or two as he matures. Not sure that it makes sense to choose a captain starting the downside of their career in Spezza but t really depends on how much longer Alfie plays. Or Potentially Silfverberg becomes that guy, obviously pretty early to throw that name out there but ultimately, I'd like to see another long serving captain and it seems that a lot of teams are passing the leadership role to younger guys more often than not these daYs.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I know this isn't related to the post, but I've got some news for NHL 13 fans. I've found out that EB Games will be having two players from each Canadian team attend a release event in their respective city for a ball hockey tournament. One of Ottawa's representatives will be none other than Norris winner Erik Karlsson. The two top teams in each city will also be coached by the players. I'm not sure of the exact location, but I'll be sure to post it when I know. I'm also looking into the chance of having an alternate cover created for each city, but again, nothing is for certain. I'll keep y'all posted, it'll likely be official by the end of the week]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[At this point I think it would be a slap in the face not to give the captaincy to Spezza. We'll never know whether he's captain material unless he gets the chance to wear the "C" for a season or two. Phillips keeps an "A" until he is no longer a Senator, and next in line for the "A's" should be Karlsson, Cowen, Turris, in no specific order. Who knows though. By the time Alfie retires someone else off the map could have stepped up or we may bring in a more suitable player via free agency or trade. That's doubtful though. I've given up hope that we"ll ever be able to attract a top free agent player.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thanks for the nice comments everyone. I'm glad there is some debate even though it seems as if Spezza is a shoe-in. Who are the A's going foward?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Great post Chadillac !! Took us out of a lingering story on Regin, which was overdue. Agree 100 % that Jason Spezza should become our next Captain as soon as Alfredsson retires, be it next year or the year after !! Do not agree with Tookie's comment calling Chris Neil a "goon" ! ? To me Neil is the heartbeat of this team, and he is super aggressive, but has never been suspended during career in the NHL. I can visualize Karlsson, replacing Spezza in 8-10 years as our Captain.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Gonchar will probably leave teh Senators playing staff before Alfie at this rate. i don't see us signing him to another deal. Phillips would be a step back, you don't become a leader through longevity alone. He doesn't bring that much else to the table at this stage. Neil doesn't need a letter to make him a better leader. If anything giving him a C would be counter productive to what we want him to do. Once Alfie leaves there needs to be a complete changing of the guard. Phillips is the old guard. We need to look to the future. That's Spezza and Karlsson.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Spezza will be our next Captain, that is certain. I am shocked that Gonchar was even mentioned. I absolutely despise his unmotivated play. He should have been shown the door along with Kuba. Maybe we can unload him to the Flyers in a package and try to get Brière or Hartnell? OK, Flyers are desperate but not THAT desperate! lol]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ How can you possibly not see the leafs making an offer for Getzlaf??? He would instantly put them into the top third of the east, and if they got a goalie they would be probably right at the top....now Anahiem accepting said offer who knows(I can't see anything worth him barring another Kessel style trade with a tonne of 1st round picks) Of course the Leafs will make an offer for Getzlaf.. the thing I can't see about it.. is the Ducks letting him go...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I could see the Leafs doing that, they desperately need that #1 C. Also with Stevie Y at the helm, I wouldnt be surprised they (Tampa) pull off something like that. If there is 1 person who can get something out of Heatley, its Stevie Y.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Great write-up -- I too think Spezza gets the "C". Phillips retains his "A".. and the other "A" goes to Neil. Off topic... but Hockeyy Insiderr is saying Andre Meszaros has had surgery to repair a torn Achilles Tendon he injured while training in Europe. So for the Flyers.. no Pronger, they lost Carle to UFA.. could not get Weber on the offer sheet.. now lost Meszaros for most of the season (if there is one).. so what now will they do? Hockeyy Insiderr is also saying the Lightening have made an offer to the Wild for Heatley... why I don't know.. can't see that.. and the Leafs have made an offer to the Ducks for Getzlaf.. can't see that either.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Neil will never get the C, he's a goon, he's not the type of player that usually inherits the C. Plus like others have mentioned, he doesnt need it, his style speaks for himself. I would want him with the C, it would force him to tone down his style. Oh I completely agree that he would never get it and he is not the right type of player etc. But there is no denying the fact he is a leader on this team. I just thought he deserved honorable mention (especially since Gonch got a shout out lol)]]></description>
