With Steven Stamkos boot-scootin’ on up to Nashville there is not only an opening on the second line but also a vacant captain spot on the roster. Now, we can spill a lot of digital ink and waste a lot of time coming up with various other players that might see that big “C” stitched above their left pectoral muscle, but we all know at some point it’s going to be Victor Hedman wearing it.
At some point The Big Swede will be named the 11th captain in team history and if I had to bet money on it, the team will wait till the home opener to do it.
