I think that Linden should keep the "C" for at least half of the coming year. 
It is never good for a team for a new guy to come right in and take over as 
captain. When Gretzky went to LA he wasn't captain right away. Same with when 
he went to New York. The only time he took over right away was in St. Louis, 
and that was a disaster. I think (for the first little while anyway) Linden 
should wear the C, Mess and Bure should wear the A.
should wear "A"s. It will be a tough decision for Renney.
