It's awesome that this team is bursting at the seams with leadership both now and in the future. Giordano is such an awesome captain for this team and will continue to be that for a long time.
But even outside of him there is so much leadership and character on this team that tons of guys have the qualities to have an A on their sweater... Brodie, Russell, wideman, hudler, backlund, stajan, bouma, Monohan... Any of these guys could be assistant captains on this team and deserve it. Even looking further ahead... Everything thing we've heard about Bennett sounds like he will have all the great leadership qualities an NHL team would look for in a captain/assistant captain.
Only so many A's to give out and I think they've made great choices in Russell, wideman, and hudler. But it speaks volumes of this team's character that so many guys could be considered leaders on this team.
