New York Rangers: Should Mats Zuccarello Be An Alternate Captain?

The New York Rangers lost two alternate captains in the offseason. Adam Rotter of SNY.com believes only one should be replaced, and that the player to fill that role should be Mats Zuccarello. I couldn’t agree more.

Don’t be fooled by Zuccarello’s 5’7″, 179-pound frame. He plays a big game, big minutes and comes through in big spots. He’s a proven scorer who leaves it all on the ice every night.
