I just saw this suggested on twitter... what are the odds they give Marleau the C for a couple of seasons?

I could see it, but honestly, I'm not crazy about pinning the C on a guy who just got here, unless it's someone who is going to come in and be the best player.
They need to find a way to at least get one of Kapanen or Soshinikov into lineup full time. They are both excellent forecheckers and can play valuable pk minutes. Yes, you will argue that Moore and Marleau will do the same, but i see youthfulness as an asset in providing a more effective and relentless forecheck.CarltonTheBear said:So, what we likely look like as of right now:
Marleau-Matthews-Nylander
Komarov-Kadri-Brown
JVR-Bozak-Marner
Martin-Moore-Hyman
Rielly-Zaitsev
Gardiner-Hainsey
Marincin/Dermott/Swede-Carrick
Andersen
McBackup
*Hyman's always been the only winger on the team playing his off-wing. Even if JVR or Komarov get dealt, I hope this move slides him over to the right side.

I'm all for some veteran presence but we really bumped up the average age with the last 3 signings. Admittedly, I haven't paid much attention to Marleau the past few seasons, but you really think he is still a $6 million guy?
