Why is Tavares even on there?
I'm not sure he should get it, but it will be Eichel.
I can't see them waiting around to give it to Dahlin, and I have a feeling if they passed over Eichel to give it to Dahlin, there may be some fall out.
O'Reilly 'absolutely' thinks Eichel is ready to be Sabres' captainRyan O'Reilly, who spent the last three seasons in Western New York alongside Eichel before being dealt to the St. Louis Blues this summer, responded emphatically when asked if he thought the Sabres' franchise cornerstone was ready to wear the 'C'.
"Absolutely. Oh, gosh, yeah," he told Sportsnet's Luke Fox at BioSteel camp Tuesday.
Lol at how inaccurate that is.27% of the current votes involve a guy not coming to Buffalo, an 18 year old that didn't even talk at all when he was with Frolunda, and a guy who said he lost his love for the game and felt like it was ok to lose.
Exactly why Eichel shouldn't be named captain. Guys got passion and wants to win no doubt, but I just don't see him as a good leader.
He absolutely is. I mean, watch his media scrum from yesterday (or 2 days ago maybe). He's saying and doing all the right things. And if you pay attention to the way other players talk about him, he's clearly become a guy that vets respect and young players look up to. I'd be surprised if he wasn't announced as captain before the start of the season. I'm guessing Okposo gets one of the As, not sure who gets the other.
