The Vancouver Canucks have not had a captain since Henrik Sedin retired following the end of the 2017-2018 seasons. However, it looks like that's about to change. According to Iain MacIntyre of Sportnets, it will be centre Bo Horvat.
MacIntyre says he spoke with GM Jim Benning last week who told him team management is going to sit down again and discuss the situation, and if they decide to name a captain, it will be Horvat. The 23-year-old already serves as an alternate captain with the Canucks.
Horvat certainly seems like the obvious choice. He has put up solid numbers over the last five season in Vancouver, and his teammates describe him as a quiet leader.
Horvat was selected ninth overall in the 2013 entry draft. Over 377 career games, he has 98 goals and 222 points.
