Bonkers idea if you ask me. Can only imagine what Haines thinks about having the 'C' effectively taken away from him.
Anyone ever heard of this being done before?

I'm pretty sure another team has done the same this season, but I can't for the life of me remember who it was.

Never heard of this - Haines is a returning vet, was captain last year and they take it away and make him an associate. Really Dutes? Every team needs a captain - embarrassing decision.

Happens in the NHL sometimes, usually when a C moves on and numerous senior pros lead the room. Not sure why Haines wouldn't get it back. Unless he didn't want it. Dingle seems a natural leader and someone who's constantly positive .Hopefully it rubs off .Not sure what Fox brings. Doesn't appear to lead on ice but you never know. Bobby Chaumont didn't seem a leader of men either but apparently was.

I think we're taking this 'team full of leaders' thing too far. Absolutely no need for Haines not to continue with the C.
I'm still trying to get my head round the term 'Associate Coach' and now this!
Cmon Flyers let's not over think this stuff. The A allows a player to speak to the ref anyway so just can't understand this. We're allowed 3 alternates as well as a captain so if they wanted to be handing out responsibility all over the place then they could have had 4 guys with letters.

What about at puck drop when captains are asked to get a photo taken? Who will do that? Haines or will they take turns?

Montreal did this with 3 A's last season then decided on Max Pacioretty as Captain for this season.

Seems pretty weird timing, there's a couple guys in their interview already mentioned Haines with reference to him being captain, it will mean different things to different players but can't imagine he's overly chuffed with basically having the C taken away

The Rangers have done this more than once too. It does seem a bit odd, but presumably they worked it out with the group and the team and people were happy with it. A lot of teams vote on things like this, and maybe everyone voted for a shared leadership group. I doubt they'd have done it on purpose to strip Haines of his captaincy, though I admit that it does look a bit odd at first glance.
