I don't think one player bring captain or assistant captain makes a whole lot of a difference one way or the other. Near as I can tell, those with Cs or As on their jersey get to act in an official capacity to bitch to the refs about calls and non-calls.
To be clear, many great players over the years haven been captains or assistant captains. But they're great because of everything else to do with how they play, not because of an extra letter on the jersey.
Good luck to the Flames new captain.
