Wasn't Brayden Point captain one year?

What about Adam Pardy?

Still on the roster but they have one cut left to make. They could cut a D or an F since they have 13 and 8 right now.

He was practicing as the extra forward today, so he likely will barely play tomorrow even if they go 13 and 7.

Hopefully he survives the cut but I would say it's less than 50/50 right now.

He was the Captain at the 2016 tournament.

I was thinking about this. Was the last time Calgary had a prospect play on a first line for Canada, was it Iginla?

Dustin Boyd was a first liner for team Canada IIRC.

I don't know if it is less than 50/50 right now. One of Finland's defencman Salo is sick. It is likely they are saving the last spot for him or his replacement.
