I guess there isn't much on the roster outside of Hall that seems like an obvious fit. Smid is insanely overrated by Oiler fans and would seem like a possibility and I guess Ryan Smyth is still there.
I can't remember Ference ever even wearing an A anywhere so it seems odd to bring in a new guy who hasn't been a clear leader on his previous teams and make him the A.

In the Bruins documentary from the summer, the Bruins brass repeatedly mentioned Ference's character and leadership. When they decided to let him walk, they acknowledgded that it would be his leadership they would miss most.
