Sam Weinman at The Rangers Report says that Brendan Shanahan, although not under contract, skated with the Rangers at the MSG Training Facility. See here and here.On Shanahan skating with the team...
"No word on what Shanahan’s status is. He could just be working out with the team while remaining in flux for this season, or this could be the early stages of Glen Sather bringing No. 14 back for a third season."
On Shanahan's agent talking with the Rangers...
"He doesn’t yet have a contract but he said that his agent Rick Curran was talking to Sather this week. More and more it sounds like a deal is imminent...And seeing how his locker still featured his nameplate, it wasn’t hard to picture him back."
...from this report it looks like a sure thing that Shanny will be back.
...i'm actually shocked by this. I thought for sure Sather had decided to go in a different direction. Maybe he didn't feel this team had enough leadership.
...i guess this would put to rest all the speculation on who will be the next Captain. If Shanahan comes back it has to go to him.

First, I love to see Shanny back
Second, I dont think it is a sure thing that Shanny gets the "C". When and If he is back it will probably be only 1 season. Give the "C" to drury or gomez, its there team long term and that how the rangers/renney should look at it when deciding. Shanny will be a leader with an "A" or no letter at all.
I agree with Fleisch 14, it would make more sense to give the C to a player who's gonna be here for a few years. I'm thinking Drury should be the guy.
