After curly headed Jack's departure, who is the next captain for the Buffalo Sabres???

          After the departure of that curly headed fuck with all had the unfortunate displeasure of calling a captain, the Sabres now have to fill the void by finding the next leader of this team. I think this team is finally trending in the right direction for the first time since the dipshit Pegula's bought the franchise. We don't have any stars like he who shall not be named but we do have a bunch of young hungry guys itching to show the rest of the NHL that we aren't pushovers like we were with Ralph Krueger behind the bench. I think the most important thing with this team is, they want to be here, they want to be apart of the re-build, they want to be the guys who bring Buffalo back to the playoffs and most importantly, none of them think they are bigger than the franchise. I think we jumped the guy with curly headed fuck, he was too young to be captain, he's shown he was too immature, he's shown he only cares about one person and after his little media after he was traded, he's shown its the curly headed fuck show and no one else matters. I think we have the pieces, they're right there, shit just needs to fall into place for fucking once. There are a few names that jump to me for the "C" but in my opinion there are a couple dark horses to consider for this, so let's dive in and take a look at who should lead us.


Rasmus Dahlin:
          Dahlin is a easy one to look at, he's the future of this team and seems to like being here. He's played much better this year and seems like a real level headed kid. The question is, do we want to name another young player a captain? In no means do I think Dahlin will turn out with an attitude like curly headed fuck, but I just don't know if he is ready to lead an NHL franchise, that's not me saying it would be a bad choice to make him captain and I wouldn't even be mad if they did name him captain. All I'm saying is let's not get rash and just do it to do it.

Kyle Okposo:
          Okposo is a vet, an amazing locker room guy, he's been there and done that. Okposo hasn't performed up to his contract and that's not be being a dick, I'm just stating facts. Is it Okposo's fault that Buffalo panicked that offseason and paid him 6 million sheets a year? No, does this mean because he's not a stud on the ice that he can't be captain? No. The thing is, next year is his last year under contract and to be honest i very highly doubt that we will re-sign him. If we do it sure as shit won't be for 6 million a year, Okposo is going to be 34 soon and on the back 9 of his career and I don't see him playing for much longer but still for some reason I wouldn't be mad at this one either.


Tage Thompson:
          I've said it before and I'll keep beating a dead horse, I fucking love this kid. We've been waiting since he got traded to us from St. Louis to finally see what the former first round can do, turns out he just needed a real coach. Thompson is having a career year and he legit is doing everything right. He scores goals, plays defense, fights, gets into the dirty areas, I legit just love this fuckin kids game. He's at the perfect age to be a captain, at least an alternate captain. I think he loves being in Buffalo because we're the team that finally gave him a chance, a chance that he never really seemed to get in St. Louis. I think he's the future of the tea and he's gonna stick around for a long while, so I love this move if it were to happen.


Dylan Cozens:
          Another kid, I absolutely love. When I interviewed Rob Ray for a podcast I think he said it perfectly, Ray said "he's just a hockey guy". That's the truest statement I've heard when describing Cozens, he's got the new school skill mixed in with the old school, hard nosed mentality. Cozens is just 21 years old and like I said with Dahlin, it may not be time....yet for Cozens to be the full blown captain. The thing with Cozens is, he's a team guy, team first and you've seen that last season when he would beat the shit out of someone while he was sticking up for one of his teammates. I fully believe Dylan Cozens will be the captain of the Sabres but will it be now?

Alex Tuch:
          Alex Tuch has been absolutely amazing since he came over from Vegas, 21 points(7G 14A) IN 20 game since joining Buffalo. Tuch grew up a lifelong Sabres fan and said it was a dream come true when he got to put on the blue and gold. He has real "dad energy" when he's on the ice and by that I mean he seems happier when his teammate scores then when he scores, just the genuine smile on his face when he celebrates a teammates goal is real. Tuch just got here but he would be an incredible choice to lead this team and finally make the playoffs.




Predcitions:

CAPTAIN- Alex Tuch
ALTERNATE: Rasmus Dahlin
Alternate: Kyle Okposo

I know I explained reasons for all these guys to be the captain but in all actuality I think Alex Tuch is the only choice, he's got playoff experience, he loves this organization and I think he would be an incredible captain on and off the ice. I think Okposo will get the "A" but after next year I think it will be Dylan Cozens wear the "A" along with Rasmus Dahlin.




Let's be honest, did we really want this douche as the Captain?
