## Resource

While many fans view Thomas as the clear favorite to wear the "C," nothing is official yet. On today's episode, we break down why Robert Thomas seems like the obvious choice, the arguments against naming him captain, and which other players could emerge as candidates if the Blues decide to go in a different direction. Plus, what would it mean for the franchise, the locker room, and Thomas himself if the captaincy goes to someone else? Let's explore one of the biggest questions surrounding the Blues' future leadership. 🏒💙💛
