[Eric Francis]In terms of timelines, Conroy said today the Flames will name their captain before the season starts. That player would undoubtedly be Backlund if he had re-upped this summer. But because he wants to see how the season unfolds, expect the new captain to be Rasmus Andersson.

Phat Raaaaaas!! More like Captain Phat Ras 😎🔥
Oh boy I can’t wait for the opening night introductions. “Flames fans, please welcome your new captain.. RRRAASSMUS ANDERSSOOOOON!!!!!!”
Captain Ras is a huge W
If true congratulations
Captain Ras has a nice ring to it. Loved his attitude in [this interview ](https://youtu.be/IZZ0qhWBEr4?si=MeNIH2_D7nuEiNg8) and wanted him to get the C ever since.
I hope there’s no hard feelings on Backlund’s part but given his age and uncertain future in Calgary, this seems like the best option now. He’s still undoubtedly one of; if not the biggest leader in the room
Let’s fuckin gooo!!!!! Better photoshop that BOOM meme so he has a C on his chest now.
I was kinda hoping for Weegar but Ras would make a solid Captain too.
Good news aside here
Is anyone else slightly concerned about what “see how the season unfolds” means?
Like is that the entire season? Or what
Rasmus andersson is the perfect choice
Pretty psyched about this. Seems like the type of guy that would hold people to his expectations and would lead by example. Young enough that he should be in the roll for a while.
Fuck yea!!
Best man for the job. Hope he gets it
