P.K. Subban

While joining the Predators in only the last week, it is hard not to include the entertaining Subban. When a club is considering who the captain should be, they may contemplate having a young, fresh, flashy player to represent the face of the organization. Subban is just that and more.

Subban can put up points both in 5-on-5 situations as well as on the powerplay, which as we know the Preds desperately need. Between all of his jukes, swivels, and side-steps the guy still scores. Even though the Preds have an active blue line that knows how to score, the addition of Subban makes them even better.

It is going to be hard for people to get on the Subban train for captaincy, but if you want a headline player to lead an organization he fits the bill.
