As we approach the 2023-24 NHL season, eight teams find themselves without a captain.
Chicago Blackhawks Captaincy Holds 3 Candidates
Seth Jones
One standout candidate for the captain's role is Seth Jones. He holds a prominent position as the team's top defenseman and is signed for several more seasons. Jones is a cornerstone player in the Blackhawks' rebuilding efforts, making him a strong contender to wear the coveted "C."
Nick Foligno
For those seeking a short-term captain during the rebuild, Nick Foligno emerges as a prime choice. His previous tenure as captain with the Columbus Blue Jackets showcased his exceptional leadership qualities. Foligno could provide valuable guidance to the Blackhawks during this transitional phase.
Connor Bedard
Thinking outside the box, the Blackhawks could even consider Connor Bedard for the captaincy this season. Recent NHL history has witnessed young players like Connor McDavid assuming the captain's role in their teens. While Bedard may be a captaincy candidate in the future, it's worth monitoring if the Blackhawks choose to name a captain after the 2023-24 season.
