Sharks go with obvious choice for new captain

With the start of training camp, the San Jose Sharks found themselves ready to name a new captain after Joe Pavelski's departure to Dallas in the offseason.

According to Kevin Kurz of The Athletic, Logan Couture has been named the new captain. Couture, 30, was drafted ninth overall by the Sharks in 2007 and has spent his entire NHL career with the organization. Last season he put up a career-best 70 points in 81 games. His career totals are 507 point in 663 games, and even better numbers in the playoffs with 101 points in 116 games.
