The 1992-93 NHL season was a defining year for Joe Sakic, proving to be career and franchise-changing. Before the season started, he was named captain of the Quebec Nordiques, a title he would hold for the remaining 16 years of his career. Sakic responded in the best way possible by turning in a 105-point season, which was instrumental in leading the Nordiques to the playoffs for the first time in his career. This began a run that saw him make the playoffs in 13 of those 16 years with Quebec and Colorado. With two Stanley Cup championships and a Hart Memorial Trophy, among other accomplishments, the decision to make Sakic captain proved to be an impactful decision for many years.
