Bryan McCabe‘s late season trade to the New York Rangers left an opening for a new Panthers captain. Marty Reasoner seemed to be the favorite, in Dale Tallon’s eyes at least. Reasoner’s signing with the New York Islanders yesterday means he won’t be the latest to fill in the skates of McCabe, Olli Jokinen, Scott Mellanby and Brian Skrudland. Who do you think will be the next Panthers captain? Will it be a new player who played a leadership role on his last team, a long-time Panther or will they go without? Vote in the poll and leave your reasons for your choice in the comments.
