no one
until someone proves it
even Eichel shouldn't have been Captain
his defeatist body language certainly didn't balance
out his capability to deliver decent post game interviews.

Okposo is really the only choice right now if they go with a single C. He's a vet, is by all accounts well-liked by the staff as well as the players, and despite the fact that he's not the best player on the roster, he's been praised for years for his approach to the game both on and off the ice. No problems at all with Kyle wearing the C

Given the disparagement of Captain Jack by players and posters alike, for my money, but more importantly the Pegula's money, the most experienced - let alone economical, effective, and efficient - choice is their current yacht captain, whoever he is. My undertanding is he wears a Sabres home white "#1" sweater with "Captain" on the name plate, and the "C" on the chest while at the helm of the "SS Hockey Heaven" steaming out of South Florida. The traditional anchor emblem on his white officers hat with navy blue brim is replaced by the buffalo and crossed-swords logo.

The answer is probably Okposo, but I'm sorry he's an albatross. Love the heart, but just go away already. I guess it doesn't matter now though that we have no more cap worries. Give it to Girgs tho.

I don't see them giving anyone the C right away. Hopefully they wont have to deal with deciding what to do with Eichel and the C.

Okposo is clearly still an NHL level player. He's not worth his contract & his health will always be a worry - but he's not ECHL level which he's often made out to be.

The only thing keeping him out of the lineup will be injury.

Girgs. He seems like a good on ice influence for the younger guys. High motor, No fear, Lunch pail, Hard hat type of guy.
