Give pavs the C, he'll do well with it. Do not give it to Thornton or Marleau, their tenure here commands enough respect and nor will it change how they approach the game. Give the A's to Vlasic/Couture/burns/Marteen/Ward. Pavelski as captain alone would do wonders.
Honest question. How is pavelski being captain going to do wonders to him or the team?
