I'm pretty old school when it comes to captains. I want guys who get respect in the room as opposed to the best scorers. First captain I ever watched was Henri Richard and he was far from a big time producer on those Habs. The Bruins had Orr and Esposito but it was Bucyk that was captain. The 89 Flames had two interchangeable forwards as captains (and 3 the prior years) and they weren't the big guns.
So if that's Huberdeau, fine. If it's Backs, fine. If it's Tanev or Weegar, great.
