Rivet has been a warrior but he's simply worn down and slowed down by age and prior injury. That alone I don't think is justification to strip the C away. I'm fairly certain from what I've known and heard about him earlier in his career that he's a good leader off the ice. He'll still have the C until his contract runs out after next season. Then I think Gaustad should wear the C, and give Myers and Connolly an A (unless Darcy signs a real vet forward with a winning attitude).
Andrew Peters was a great "leader off the ice" (letting Butler live with him, etc). As ETC said, Carolina did it, and it worked wonders. Not sure if that was the pivotal move, or the fact that they're *finally* healthy was more of an influencing factor, but I wouldn't mind seeing Goose run loose
