Rumor: Did the Preds just accidentally reveal their next captain?
Keystone Press

In the weeks following former Nashville Predators captain Mike Fisher’s retirement announcement, fans and analysts of the team have speculated wildly about who might be named as his successor. 

While many have maintained that defenseman Roman Josi is the most deserving player in Nashville to wear the “C”, there’s a vocal fanbase who would like to see superstar P.K. Subban as the team’s next captain. Well, if today’s official promo shots for the NHL are any indication, Josi WILL NOT be the next captain of the Nashville Predators.

Check it out:


Well, there’s certainly a letter on Josi’s jersey, but it’s not the “C”. It looks as though Josi will continue to wear the “A” and be an alternate captain for the  Preds next season, but we’re still left wondering who will be named the team’s next captain. Subban? Ryan Johansen? How about a dark horse candidate like Filip Forsberg or Ryan Ellis? Stay tuned.
