The wait is nearly over!
A captain is coming.
The Blue Jackets quietly leaked the news to some season ticket holders earlier today, and then Aaron Portzline broke the news via Puck Rakers. The team will be holding a special press conference on Wednesday where they'll be introducing the 6th Captain in the history of the Columbus Blue Jackets.
The players have been vocal that they want a recognized leader in the room, and by all accounts the front office agreed. We've made our best guesses, along with just about everyone else who has been watching this team, and the odds on favorite has to be Nick Foligno - though Boone Jenner, Scott Hartnell, and Brandon Dubinsky all bring qualities that would make them solid options.
