Since the departure of Nick Foligno to the Leafs on April 11th, and the subsequent signing of a deal with the Boston Bruins, the Columbus Blue Jackets had to name a new captain. Foligno has worn that badge with great pride for six seasons and whoever gets that badge, Boone Jenner, will have some big shoes to fill.
