View Poll Results: Who do you think should be captain

writes "The Nashville Predators named defenseman Kimmo Timonen as their third captain.

Timonen replaces Greg Johnson, who was not re-signed during the offseason. Timonen has played in 493 games, second most in franchise history. He is a point shy of tying Scott Walker, now in Carolina, as the team's career scoring leader. Paul Kariya and Steve Sullivan were named assistants Poolers alert: Alxander Radulov will start the season in the AHL."

I think Kimmo is a good choice for the captain. He'll be as key as anyone if Nashville is going to do well this season.

Good choice IMO too, especially with Kariya being unsure about whether or not he'll return to the team next season.

Timonen has been the team's top d-man for years now.
