All those top picks and not one Toews, Landeskog, or Brown, among them to lead the pack. Perhaps Hall at least tries to play this role, but the guy just doesn't come across as being smart enough to do so effectively.
That would explain giving the "C" to a player who has never stepped on the ice for the team.
