The obvious choice to be the Detroit Red Wings next captain is a budding star, Dylan Larkin. He’s elevated his game to the next level, and it was necessary with former captain and team leader Henrik Zetterberg being forced to retire due to a lingering back issue. After a season the Wings decided to rotate four associate captains it seems the club is once again prepared to stitch a “C” back onto a winged wheel jersey.
Larkin seemed to embrace a leadership role this season; you could see a bit of swagger to his game, something we didn’t always see in the past.
