It's too bad Peters had to walk away - he seemed to be getting that dressing room figured out just before things went south for him. Ward simply rode that coat-tail of success (which was short-lived)
So I would say 80% of NHL teams could easily identify their next captain in the event their current retired or was traded. So for the Flames, who would that be? I know Gio won the Norris recently, but he seems to have lost something. He is not moving with the same efficiency or confidence and doesn't look like a 6.75 million dollar player.
