You have to possess some skill. Otherwise you are a cheerleader. You don't have to be the top line center, but you can't be the fourth line guy either. Often, the best captains aren't the most skilled guys, but they do have game.
I think one of the best captain's currently playing hockey is Rod Brind'Amour. He won't win the Hart trophy, but the guy brings it every game. Flyers shoulda never let him go.
