Ducks’ Next Captain Will Have Big Shoes to Fill

Luke Schenn’s departure leaves void in Anaheim’s leadership group

Longtime Ducks defenseman traded to Vancouver Canucks

The Anaheim Ducks are in search of a new captain after trading longtime defenseman Luke Schenn to the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday. Schenn had served as the Ducks’ captain since 2020-21, and his departure leaves a big void in Anaheim’s leadership group.

Schenn was a popular figure in the Ducks’ locker room, and he was known for his toughness and compete level. He was also a valuable mentor for the Ducks’ younger players. Schenn’s departure will be a big loss for the Ducks, both on and off the ice.

The Ducks have a number of potential candidates to replace Schenn as captain. Some of the most likely candidates include forwards Trevor Zegras, Troy Terry, and Adam Henrique. Zegras is a rising star who has quickly become one of the Ducks’ most important players. Terry is a talented scorer who has emerged as a leader in recent years. Henrique is a veteran forward who has been with the Ducks since 2017.

Whoever is named captain will have big shoes to fill. Schenn was a respected leader who helped the Ducks through some tough times. The Ducks will need their new captain to provide the same kind of leadership and guidance.
