Default Who gets the A?

It's looking more and more like Cammalleri will be heading to free agency, who should be the new fulltime assistant captain?

Captain - Mark Giordano
Assistant - Curtis Glencross
Assistant - ?????

gotta be Backlund.

All he did after getting it this year was take his game to another level, and I don't know if there's another player on the team that loves the Flames, and being a Flame, more than Backlund.

Backlund deserves it for sure.

Also, take the one from Glencross and give it to Hudler or Stajan.

Stajan or Backlund. I'd say McGrattan but I like him more as an unsung leader.

Seriously though, Backlund definitely deserves to get one but I think they go to Stajan and Glencross.

Mcgrattan, I'd love to see him skating around center before the game staring down the other team with a big A on his jersey. Backlund in a year or two

I'd like to live in a world where Glencross isn't part of the captaincy, or part of the team at all for that matter.

It is not smart to give a letter to a player who sees 4 minutes of ice time a game.

for a contending team absolutely, not many players have as much impact with 4 minutes a game. Wishful thinking on my behalf because he's admittedly one of my favorite players. Don't see giving him the A once in a while would hurt, it's not like the team will be perturbed. He's one of the pillars of the teams foundation.

I'll say Stajan and glencross for this year. I got a feeling that this is Glencross last year as a flame. After he is gone then Backlund.

Granted it's pretty early to be choosing. Could be some big trades this summer that involve some of the names above.
