Today I will be discussing who the top candidates are for the assistant captain roles on the Vegas Golden Knights team.
James Neal
Neal is probably the most likely player to have an ‘A’ on his jersey to start the season. For the last couple of seasons, he was an assistant captain on the Nashville Predators and helped lead them to the Stanley Cup Finals in 2016-17. He has a lot of NHL experience and will be able to help Vegas’ younger players adapt to the NHL.
On top of that, Neal has a great work ethic and getting him rub his hard work on the younger players could help Vegas in the long run.
