Zero concept of development.

Your captain isn't necessarily supposed to be your best player either. Looch has those leadership intangibles in spades and has won before, and has been probably a top 3 performer in the playoffs for us, despite being over the hump.

I wouldn't mind him, Backlund (though ideally a couple years ago), Tanev or maybe Lindholm.

Mangiapane or Dube in a few years will be excellent candidates though I think.
I could see Lindholm.

"Captain Zebulon" has a nice ring to it.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
