At the moment, there are a few candidates for that spot and your choice for that “C” depends largely on your philosophy of the position, not simply who your favourite player is. The names that have been thrown out there, particularly this season are primarily Thomas Chabot, Brady Tkachuk, and Mark Borowiecki.
Thomas Chabot
If you want Thomas Chabot to take over as captain, it’s probably because you think that the “best” or most skilled player on the team should wear the “C.” You look back at the long list of greats in the NHL and many of them captained their teams: Gretzky, Messier, Lemieux, Crosby…the list goes on and on.
