Mikael Backlund will likely be the next Captain and will probably still be a Flame when Bennett, Gaudreau and Monahan are long gone.
I still think Sam Bennett gets his wish and gets a chance to be a top six forward on another team.

There is no universe where Backlund gets the next Captain unless Tkachuk is also gone, which he won't be.
