It'll be Bo, but I don't really care if they went with another option. Edler as a stop-gap veteran option for two years, or Pettersson as a "lead by example" player/marketing move, would both be fine. I don't think the captaincy is a big deal regardless, though.

I expected better than a joke made in poor taste Billy. The good Captain Lou passed away about a decade ago.

Happy: Bo Horvat or Elias Pettersson

Content: Alex Edler

Picket Rogers Arena: Brandon Sutter/Jay Beagle.
I feel like it they were gonna give it to a vet and not a younger player they would have done it last year, Edler or Tanev. No point waiting a year if it's going to go to a "transition" Captain anyways.

Don't really see it being anyone but Horvat, but I have been surprised before.

It's such an easy lay up for the team to name Bo captain, but after today (and numerous other examples) I have no idea how or if the team will screw it up somehow.

If, by some stroke of demonic influence, Bo Horvat weren't selected... do we still call him Future Captain Bo Horvat?

It was questionable if Edler would be back, remember, so kinda makes sense why they waited so long if it's him.

I have zero doubt it'll be Horvat though.
