Who was the best captain of the Jets 2.0?

Ladd had just been traded to Atlanta a season earlier after having won a Stanley Cup with the Chicago Blackhawks which was the second of his career. He was named the Thrashers captain for their final season in Atlanta and those duties carried over to Winnipeg and he became one of the first faces associated with the club along with ‘flashier' players such as Evander Kane and Dustin Byfuglien.

Wheeler had already established himself in his first few years with Boston as a solid two-way depth forward, but as a member of the Jets he found a new level in his game becoming a consistent 20+ goal scorer. In essence he was becoming the same type of player that Andrew Ladd had been. Wheeler had served as an assistant captain under Ladd, and once Ladd had been traded, Wheeler assumed the responsibility and appeared to be a more vocal and demonstrative leader for the club.
