With Gonchar now gone to the Ottawa land, looking at the current Penguins roster its clear that new alternate captain hasn’t been officially named yet. If you think about possible candidates that have filled those shoes before two names come to mind right away, Brooks Orpik and Jordan Staal. Out of these two, Brooks Orpik is better fit hands down. Brooks Orpik is tenured veteran with the club, including WBS Pens he has been around for 10 years now. He has shown time and time again his natural leader skills. Just last season when Pens were struggling its was Brooks Orpik who stepped up and urged the team to play better. Being part of the USA Olymic team is another plus on his resume. I think its safe to assume Bylsma will promote Brooks Orpik to fill the new alternative captain position.
