The Canucks might change their current captain.

The Canucks are now weighing their options for a new captain, with Horvat widely seen as the front-runner for the role. The franchise is also considering potential replacements from within, including veterans like Alex Edler and Tanner Pearson.

The team has yet to make an official announcement regarding who will be chosen as the next captain of The Canucks for the 2021-22 NHL season. The Canucks have not had a captain since the 2019-20 season and have considered making Horvat the first real captain in franchise history.

The organization has explored this option for several weeks now, but it remains to be seen whether or not they will commit to Horvat as their next leader. If they do decide to name him captain, Horvat would become the ninth player in franchise history to wear the ‘C’ for The Canucks.

The other eight captains have all been players who had a significant and lasting impact on the team, and Horvat is certainly no exception. Ultimately, The Canucks will make their decision over the next few weeks and it could be that they decide to go in a different direction.

The team may also opt to keep their current leadership structure, as they have been successful with it thus far. However, if The Canucks do decide to make Horvat the captain, it would be a significant and meaningful statement from the organization and could work wonders for the team moving forward.

Whatever The Canucks decide, it is sure to be an important decision for the entire organization. The decision is likely to be made before the start of the upcoming season and could have a huge impact on The Canucks’ fortunes in the future.
