The Atlanta Thrashers have named forward Andrew Ladd as the eighth team captain in franchise history, according to Head Coach Craig Ramsay. Additionally, defensemen Dustin Byfuglien and Tobias Enstrom have been named the team’s alternate captains.

“Andrew has earned this distinction with a high level of commitment to his play and to his teammates,” said Ramsay. “Along with Andrew, Dustin and Toby have set the tone for our club with their on-ice leadership and deserve this opportunity.”


Can't say I ever saw Ladd as captain material... then again, the Trash don't exactly have a hell of a lot to work with, and Ladd's got two rings and a boatload of playoff experience.

I guess I would have pegged Peverley myself, but I don't know much about Atlanta locker room politics.

it might be a move to get him to consider signing a long term deal ... I was hoping he'd be available at the deadline but this doesnt bode well
