When the Canucks traded away Bo Horvat, they also traded away their captain of the last few years. Since then, certain names have been linked to the Canucks' captaincy.
From Elias Pettersson, J.T. Miller, to Quin Hughes, they've all been making their case as the ultimate leaders on the team as they pave the Canucks' road to success. The Canucks released to video today that showcased Quinn Hughes in their ‘'Going Home'' series and it truly highlighted what made him, not only a great player, but also an excellent leader:
The team's coach Rick Tocchet, noted on various occasions that he really liked ‘Huggy' regarding his captainship preferences. Ever since he joined the Canucks, he's not only grown as a player, but he's matured tons and it shows on the ice.
While no timeline have yet been established, the ongoing belief suggests that the Canucks will be naming their newest captain prior to the beginning of the season. Will Quinn Hughes be the bearer of the infamous ‘C'?
