This player you see in the picture above is the new captain of the Colorado Avalanche. With a tailspin looming, the Avalanche have finally decided to name Milan Hejduk the captain with Paul Stastny as one alternate captain and a rotating group of players as the second alternate captain. Hejduk makes a lot of sense as captain, as he is the longest tenured player on the Avs, and will have along the way, learned from the previous Avs captains Joe Sakic and Adam Foote. When asked about wearing the C, Hejduk has hopes for combining the best from his predecessors, taking the on-ice leadership that Sakic possessed and the speaking up when he has to like Foote did in their respective times as captain. This appointment now leaves the Florida Panthers as the only team without a permanent captain, as they are currently employing four alternate captains.
