Gabriel Bourque is only wearing an A because Comeau is out. Comeau normally wears the A.
So obscure in fact that Comeau has only worn an A this year when MacKinnon or Johnson have been injured.Comeau wears an A in Colorado, that's pretty obscure.
This is one of the least obscure captaincies in NHL history

Andrew Ference was the captain before Connor McDavidEdmonton before Mcdavid had some obscure captains. Ethan Moreau?
You've also got the Devil's who like to name unassuming players captains. Last two captains are Andy Greene and Bryce Salvador.
he was hyped asthe next big thing. while he never came close he was still a solid playerNothing obscure about a 5th overall pick who was well known and twice a gold medalist for the national team....

Eric Brewer, Dallas Drake
Wasnt really obsure, the whole league laughed at thatRoberto Luongo for the Canucks
Mark Messier for the Canucks
But other than him, the Oilers captains Smith, Moreau, Horcoff, Ference, and yet somehow Ryan Smyth was never named captain of the Oilers...
People could say Mike Keane for Montreal, but he's a legit good leader.
Kenny Jonsson for the Islanders.
Phaneuf for the Leafs, but I know at the time people thought the Leafs just acquired a franchise player, but he was able to provide a face for that time being.
Nobody can deny Shayne Corson.
Luongo is an interesting case.
Not for us. We lived it.Give it some time and it’ll be a crazy trivia question that requires half a page of explanation.
I 100% agree. I think the OP was looking for guys who we wouldn't necessarily expect to earn the captaincy, not who didn't deserve it.I hate threads like these. A Captain is a leader, not just the best player or two on the team nowadays.
We have no idea how these guys were in the locker room. They might’ve been the guys giving the rallying speech during intermission, the one that pushes everyone else in the weight room, the guy that mentors the young’ins.
Without inside knowledge, we have no idea.
