During a Nashville Sports Council Luncheon held in the Lexus Lounge at Bridgestone Arena on Tuesday, the Nashville Predators announced James Neal and Roman Josi will serve as the team's alternate captains for the 2016-17 season.
Neal will serve as a Predators alternate captain for the third consecutive season; he's worn an "A" for every season he's spent in Nashville since being acquired from the Pittsburgh Penguins in the summer of 2014. After serving as the third alternate captain in 2015-16, Josi will now don a letter full time this season, with Mike Fisher logging his inaugural season as the club's seventh captain.
