As captain Jordan Staal has signed a four year contract extension that will assuredly mean he retires a Carolina Hurricane, the question now shifts from who will be awarded the “C” if he retires from the Canes to who will be wearing the letter when Staal retires from the Canes.
Staal’s leadership, on the ice, has been solid. His experience invaluable.

Because it matters so much, my first vote falls to Sebastian Aho.
