It was any of their players who was wearing an A on their jersey since they didn't have a captain and they are the ones who take always part in them. I remember sometimes Bozak and Komarov would also take part in them.Doesn't Rielly typically take them?
Not how it works.Babcock will start the fourth line so lindholm
Do you think Matthews will be given one of the 'A's next season?Tavares, Marleau, or Rielly - I'm assuming they'll be our 3 'A's next year, so it would stand to reason it would be one of them.
No - I don't see him getting a letter at this point until his next contract kicks in. Once Marleau retires, Matts can have his 'A', or something like that.Do you think Matthews will be given one of the 'A's next season?
If Tavares or Matthews are not named captain next season, I can see the Leafs possibly having 4 players wear the 'A's at different times. So that way we can have Matthews, Tavares, Marleau and Rielly doing that. Plus the Leafs have a history of 4 players wearing an A when you look at this.No - I don't see him getting a letter at this point until his next contract kicks in. Once Marleau retires, Matts can have his 'A', or something like that.
I'd be comfortable with being wrong, though.
Edit - Sorry! By next season, do you mean 2019/20? If so, I think it depends on Marleau's future with the team. I expect him to receive a letter for the remainder of his time here, and Rielly and Tavares to get the other 2. Matthews would then get Marleau's 'A' (or the 'C') once Marleau departs - it's too early at this point to know if that'll be after 1 or 2 more years, so we'll have to wait and see.
I could be mistaken, but I believe only 3 players wore a letter in any given game.
I don't remember Hainsey wearing an A this past season. If he did I think it was during the pre-season when they rotated different players wearing it. I know Matthews did when they played the Senators in Ottawa during their first pre-season game.I could be mistaken, but I believe only 3 players wore a letter in any given game.
Certainly, should they decide to have 4 guys with letters, Matthews would be a solid choice, though I still think they wait until his next contract kicks in before giving him that kind of added responsibility. If they give out a 4th letter this year, I'd expect it to go to Hainsey again.
If JT is wearing the "C" on opening night then Dubas outright lied to everyone including the media.Tavares
He'll be wearing the C, so why wouldn't he?
Dubas said he wasn't going to make a decision on who's the captain at that time. So if Tavares is named captain next month or at training camp he still didn't outright lie to everyone.If JT is wearing the "C" on opening night then Dubas outright lied to everyone including the media.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Marleau only wear an A when someone like Komarov was hurt?I think the better question is... who wears the A's for the Leafs this year?
Rielly will be obvious. Do we see Matthews & Tavares get the other 2? Do we have some sort of rotation that includes Patrick Marleau?
