Around SBN: Why We're Skeptical Of LeBron James

Jason Arnott, your new Nashville Predators Captain

by Dirk Hoag on Sep 12, 2007 2:39 PM EDT

The Nashville Predators are introducing Jason Arnott this afternoon as the team's new captain in light of Kimmo Timonen's departure to Philadelphia earlier this summer. He becomes the fourth player to hold that honor in the Music City, after Tom Fitzgerald (1998-2002), Greg Johnson (2002-06), and Timonen (2006-07).

The New Captain in Nashville

Personally, I think Arnott makes a fine choice as captain. He's a consistent, veteran performer with impeccable playoff credentials, having scored the Stanley Cup-winning goal in overtime against Dallas in 2000. Many local fans would have liked to see Steve Sullivan don the "C", and Sully recently gave an interview in which he expressed his hopes to be considered for that honor despite his history of injuries. I'm sure he'll still wear an "A" and be a strong influence on the team once he returns from back surgery, but Arnott is just the kind of player you hope to build a franchise around.

A good choice, but to build a team around somebody who turns 33 soon? I don´t know...
