Can't pick Lanny for #1 as he wasn't even the full time captain for the cup team. He shared the C. Can't pick Iginla as I don't think he showed enough leadership on the ice in his final years with the team - he undermined what some of the coaches were trying to do.
So went with Gio, for many of the reasons Bingo outline.

I picked based on the latter as well. Still went with Iginla.
Giordano is a great player and fantastic leader. Right now though? Iginla easily runs away with this vote.
Two seasons from Giordano aren't nearly enough to supplant Iginla at the top.
