3. Luke Kunin

Much like the first 2 gentlemen in this article, Luke Kunin is a serious guy and a quiet leader in the locker room. Now, where I see Kunin being a fit for the Captaincy is he’s been a true leader for not only the Wild but before his time in Minnesota, he served time as Captain of the University of Wisconsin Badgers men’s team and before that, he had the “C” etched on to his sweater for USA in the World Junior Championship and the US National Team Development Program.

Kunin is an emerging player for Minnesota taking more of a role this season and being productive in clutch situations.
