What happened: Granlund, the ninth overall pick in the 2010 draft, wore the microphone as the captaincy decision was delivered. The moment carried the #FlyTogether tag.

Why it matters: The choice sets the locker-room hierarchy going into the 2026-27 season. The captaincy announcement resolved the club's open leadership vacancy.

What to watch: The Ducks open the 2026-27 season Sept. 29.
