With the possibility of a Claude Giroux trade from here on to the trade deadline, it means that the Flyers will have a big choice to make involving the captaincy.

First, we have to ask ourselves the following question : are the Flyers willing to name a captain immediately after the departure of Giroux ? That's a possibility, but nothing is certain for the moment.
However, a case could be made for Scott Laughton. He was drafted by the Flyers back in 2012. He knows the culture of the city and the team. Laughton is a player who leads by example, and this is the environment in which you want your young players to grow in.
With that being said, the most likely thing to happen is that four or five players will alternate with an "A" on their jersey for the next season and a half. This will allow the front office to make the best possible choice moving forward.
