I m nearly certain that Scott Thornton didn t become an alternate captain until Craig Conroy was traded to Calgary I sure can t recall him wearing the A on his jersey before that moment and I also thought I heard on a Kings telecast shortly after the Conroy trade Bob Miller and Jim Fox talking about how he s now wearing the A on his jersey leading me to believe that he assumed that role after the trade I m not gon na reflect my opinion in the article I thought I d leave a cimment here first
