That’s the captain of Deboer’s heart.DeMelo
I have a feeling Erik gets an 'A' this season.
Traditionally how many A's are handed out? Also, can't there be different sets of A's for the road vs home?
Ah ok.You can have 2 per game, but I don't know if there's an upper limit of how many guys can have the right to wear it over the course of the season. Usually don't see more than 4 though (usually as a home and away set)
Give it to Vlasic so we can have those super awkward interviews every night.
Vlasic doesn't give a ****. I would love Vlasic as the C.

In each game, you can have ONE captain and two assistants (or three assistants).
Sharks have been, in the past few seasons, having just 1C, 2A. But if one of the guys is out (injured, or whatever), someone else has worn an A.
Sharks at one point had a monthly rotation of the captaincy.
If you're really curious, check out the Roster (officially titled "Club Playing Roster") for each game. The players wearing the letters are identified.
I don't think Jumbo needs a letter, as he is kinda beyond it. He already has the respect from around the league, except for whoever makes the top 100 lists and such. Likely Coture, Burns, Karlsson, then two of remaining group: Hertl, Vlasic, Timo, Kane(to a lesser degree).
Assistant to the captain.
