I think it’s Huberdeau, but nothing would make me happier than seeing Backlund with it.

As others have said, it’s wild how this could genuinely be 4 or 5 guys on the team. Exciting announcement.

It's going to be Backlund, and he 100% deserves it

My heart wants Backs. My head says it’s Hubey. Would be happy with either

I think it’s Huberdeau, my concern if its Backlund.
He has two years left on his contract,

Flames should name a Captain that will be part of the core for a long time.

The issue with Backlund is he always has slow starts to the season and coupled with being named a captain and if we go on any prolonged losing streak he could put too much pressure on himself.
My pick is Lindholm.

You guys really wanna go the Todd Simpson route again? Pick a 3rd liner as your captain?
Ownership just invested nearly $100M in Hubey to be the face of this franchise. No brainer.

I get the contract duration thing for sure.
But you're comparing Todd Simpson's contributions to Mikael Backlund's?

I’m moreso saying you’re picking a short term guy for loyalty and being a good worker instead of looking at the big picture and thinking long term.
If this organization really wanted to build an identity around Backlund they would have done it after Gio left. The fact that they didn’t tells me a lot.

And I get that.
But Backlund has always been more important than "a 3rd liner" or a "good worker"
Huberdeau seems like a solid human, but I've never been a fan of give the "C" to the most prolific offensive player as a default.

At the last pre season game, Backlund, tanev and kadri were the As. My guess is it’s one of them 3
