My two cents -- naming a captain is a bit overrated, yeah its nice to have a letter on your chest but the locker room knows who the leaders are and how they lead (verbally, by example). We seemed to do fine last year without a captain, would things have been different if someone in the locker room stood up and said "Let's go" during the playoffs?
Interestingly, if it is Backlund, I think he'd be the first non-North American born captain in Flames history.

You get to play the locker room music.
