Connor Bedard Becomes 37th Blackhawks Captain Amid Rebuild and Injury

Connor Bedard has been named the 37th captain in Chicago Blackhawks history, becoming the second-youngest to hold the role in franchise history. The 21-year-old center signed a five-year, $15 million average annual value extension through 2030-31. Bedard is expected to begin the 2026-27 season on injured reserve following shoulder surgery, with a return anticipated in November. The appointment follows the trade of previous captain Nick Foligno to the Minnesota Wild and marks a pivotal moment in the team’s rebuild, which includes the return of veteran winger Patrick Kane and the acquisition of defenseman Bowen Byram.

Red Wings Strip Dylan Larkin of Captaincy as Leadership Change Looms

Detroit announced Dylan Larkin is no longer the captain and the team will enter the 2026-27 season without a captain while leadership decisions and a new general manager are put in place; Larkin’s trade request and the front-office shakeup have contributed to organizational instability, though the move was defended as appropriate under the circumstances. Potential successors for the captaincy include Moritz Seider and Lucas Raymond, with DeBrincat a possibility if he signs long-term; any Larkin trade will wait until hockey-ops leadership is settled.
