The Vancouver Canucks have not had a captain since Bo Horvat was dealt to the New York Islanders last season. In recent weeks, we've heard a lot of chatter about a few potential candidates to take over the job in Vancouver, but we didn't know when a decision was coming. That decision came today.
The Canucks have officially named Quinn Hughes the 15th captain in Canucks franchise history on Monday, putting an end to all of the speculation. The team's GM, Patrik Allvin, revealed that the entire locker room was thrilled with the decision.
