[St. Louis Blues] In our 56-year history, only 23 players had worn the 'C' on the sweater. Today, Brayden Schenn becomes the 24th.
Without looking at other teams, that feels like a high turnover rate of captains. Averages out to a new captain every other year almost.
Oilers had 16* in 44 seasons
Asterisk because they had 15 but one of them lost it and was given it back
Flames are a giant mess of rotating but 19 players in 51
I was thinking the same. It's just under 2.5 years per captain. I always thought the Sharks had high turnover rate in captains, but they had 11 in 32 years, so that puts them at just under 3 years per captain.
Love this. Schenn deserves it very much
I'll echo the others. Saying that you've "only" had 26 captains in a 56 year history sounds like a really weird flex to me.
