The Athletic had an article earlier this week making a case for Rasmus Andersson as the next captain.

Andersson, who has the benefit of being a veteran with a locker-room presence while being younger than other candidates and having no visible concerns about his immediate future with the team.

When called upon, Andersson makes himself available to the media for the good and the bad. Andersson was among the players who spoke to the media at different points in 2022-23 while trying to provide answers for the team’s play. Andersson is signed through 2026 at a $4.55 million cap hit. He still has his best years as a defenceman ahead of him. Even if the Flames are forced to go through a retool or rebuild, Andersson could serve as a constant as the team transitions.

Rasmus isn't my first choice for captain but I see why some would want him in that role. Solid guy.
