Definetely Huberdeau for me. He came here relishing the idea of leading a team, with a glow to him last off season. Sutter stomped that out in short order electing to not have a leader so he could control the room dynamic at all times.
- Wants to be the leader
- Natural organizer of team events off ice
- Has already taken on the role of mentoring and supporting young players when they get called up
- Was made to change his game completely, which destroyed his offensive output and instead of pouting dove in feet first and showed amazing defensive metrics his career had never seen (which our fan base largely ignored because they were mad at him)
- Here for a long time
He is the perfect choice for captain and I suspect internally they have already decided on him with an announcement coming in training camp.
