Confirmed with Link: Nick Foligno (35th captain of the Blackhawks)

Says everything about Seth Jones

Good for Nick Foligno

I don’t think it says much. It wouldn’t be Foligno either if he was expected to be with the team for another 6 years.

People who are upset about this move clearly haven't been in a locker room before, let alone a competitive team.

Complete no brainer move here - would have been fine with three A's again though.

Agree but I think appointing Foligno as captain is better than 3 A's.
Bedard can soak in what a captain's role is this way.
I still think there could be a slight possibility that another get's the C ... but it's unlikely given we don't really have that guy yet ... unless as a remote chance .. Vlasic or Levshunov.
It's just that I feel the jury is out on who makes for the best captain ... the star or the player with the best leadership qualities .... that could very well end up being CB.
