With Cam Neely questioning if a captain is even necessary unless one player truly stands out, the team currently thrives without one, led by Hampus Lindholm’s ‘A’, Elias Lindholm, Nikita Zadorov, and Jeremy Swayman’s quiet influence. Sturm praised their collective leadership that guided them back to the playoffs last season and outlined his ideal captain: a calm, vocal bridge between players and coaches who can handle pressure. Since trading Brad Marchand in March 2025, this is the longest captain-less stretch since the 1960s—the sixth time in franchise history—and while Sturm prefers having one, he’s confident the right person will soon step up to anchor the team’s on- and off-ice direction.
