Sedin (he was a co-winner with his brother, who was the Captain), Linden (he used to be their Captain, but was stripped of the C prior to winning) and Ferrence in Edmonton. Interesting that 2 of Edmonton's 3 wins have been guys that weren't even the Captain... what does that say about either Edmonton's captains, or Edmonton's criteria for naming a Captain?

Not sure where you got that info. Ference was the Oilers' Captain.
Just looked through the list and saw Rinne, Zucker, Bergeron, Kolzig, Shanahan, Podein, Cujo, Rob Ray, Kris King, Adam Graves, among many others who were not Captains. I don't see Lundquist as ever having won it either?
