Mike Danton to be named Assistant Captain?

[The Trade Whisperer]

According to a source linked to the Oilers organization, the team has decided to name Mike Danton an assistant captain. Danton would join Ryan Smyth (A) and Jaromir Jagr (C) as the captains.

This means it is likely that Danton will be on the 4th Line with Colin Fraser and Kris Draper, David Steckal, Zach Stortini or Eric Godard.
