I dont think we have a great candidate for permanent captain going into this season.

Im not into giving it to a Ken Daneyko, Ethan Moreau, Derek McKenzie or Mikeal Backlund type just because they are veteran players and long serving members of the team. Your captain should be a league wide respected star level player, which almost every team has at least one of on the roster.

Give Huberdeau a season to see how things fall into place and then give it to him next off season if he wants it.
