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 gonna reflect my opinion in the article i thought i'd leave a cimment here first ''''''
