Really, the poll depends on the age of the voter. And both are good picks. There will be no surprises. After Iggy and Lanny, it's a long march.
EDIT: As I said it in the previous poll, Gio could do it in time, he's been everything and more. But not long enough, no awards, and obviously, no cup. He's a leader though.

Personally, I feel that nostalgia and Lanny's legendary status in Calgary inflates his value as a captain. From what I recall, he was named co-captain, and then had it removed at some point, before being given the co-captaincy again out of respect the year they won the Cup recognizing that it might be his last season. In fact, I think he was scratched in a few of the games of the final series against Montreal. Not something that you would do with your captain if their leadership was critical at that time.
