The news that Mike Fisher will be wearing the ‘C’ this upcoming season for the Predators isn’t all that surprising, but there are two sides to look at this from.
Thursday afternoon, the Predators officially announced that Mike Fisher will wear the ‘C’ this season making him the sixth full-time captain in franchise history.
Fisher being named captain doesn’t come as a huge surprise by any means. He has spent the last four seasons as an alternate captain for the Predators and when looking up and down the roster, the 36-year-old certainly stands out as an obvious choice to step into the shoes left behind by Shea Weber.
