8: Justin Faulk

Longtime Hurricane Justin Faulk split the captain position with current team captain Jordan Staal over the course of the 2017-2018 season. Which in my opinion hurt the team not having just one captain.

Justin Faulk, though sometimes inconsistent on the ice, was always a good presence within the Hurricanes organization. He was, and still is, big into giving back to the community and doing charity work. He also takes his time with fans and is always polite. All of which are good qualities that one looks for in a team captain.

I feel that if he were given the chance at being the sole captain, he could have placed much higher on this list. From all accounts he was a good presence in locker room. Lets hope that he can truly show his leadership qualities with the St. Louis Blues over the next several years. He brings a lot to the table given the opportunity.

Now a trip back to the inaugural season in Greensboro.
