The New York Rangers have not had a captain since the 2017-18 season. The last man to wear the “C” was defenseman Ryan McDonagh, who just lifted the Stanley Cup with the Tampa Bay Lightning. Before McDonagh, it was Ryan Callahan, Chris Drury, Jaromir Jagr, Mark Messier, Brian Leetch, Messier again, and so on. All told, there have been 28 captains in franchise history. The question that’s been on everyone’s mind since McDonagh was traded to the Lightning on Feb. 26, 2018 is who will be number 29?
