Scott needs someone to room with on the road.....

I was going to wait to bring up my choice for captain until I saw a few more responses, but thats my trigger word.

Since I dont subscribe to the idea of giving a player the C to try and sway him into staying (Vanek), and Im not sure if 1 of the leagues 10 most hated players is exactly the kind of leader or recruiter you want (Ott, or Kaleta for that matter), my choice for captain is Mike Weber.

If/when Miller, Vanek and Stafford all move on, Weber will remain as your longest tenured Sabre. And his road to that has been nothing more then bumpy and winding.

Hes been:

demoted
healthy scratched (way more then he should)
benched
played on great pairings (remember him and Sekera in 08-09? They were dynamite after Weber was called up from Portland)

Hes had his troubles, and his triumphs. But this year he looked like a 180 degree different player. You heard more stories about him being vocal in the room. He was a leader on the ice. He was always a hard worker, and always had that fire to be on the ice (I remember him telling a fan back in 2011 when he was benched for 10 or more straight before the season that "its about f'n time" when he dressed for his 1st game)

Im not sure if it was the addition of Ott or just the maturation of a guy whose been around, but Weber's play showed me he can handle the responsibilities and has the qualities you tend to look for.

Hes not a sexy pick by any means, and id surely understand a guy like Ehrhoff or a vet brought in (ex: Morrow), but on a team as young as ours, having a guy whose been in their shoes and battled through it would speak volumes in the room. Doesnt hurt that he comes off as a very popular guy amongst other veterans

Last year was his most consistent season, and it was a shortened one...
Captain?!

Damien Brunner pushing for $3-3.5 million per season, 2-3 year deal. Price tag too high for Red Wings.

Good player, got a little cold towards the end but not bad in the playoffs. He won't be with the Sabres.

Nothing like adding more D men we don't need.

you got me, magic is really, and jokes aren't funny.

your golfball is clever because, as two people that mutually bleed blue and gold, you've chosen to be sullen and cynical. you ask yourself "why do i bother watching sabres hockey?" and we ask the same thing...

It's ridiculous and unjustifiable how lost they are. They are practically off the map in the hockey world.

They have committed to a youth movement an they have to hope thr works out.

The market wasn't there

Sign Brunner and Cleary, trade Miller and re-sign Vanek. Call it a summer.

Nah, Ek's been right from time time, SFO literally takes any trade idea posted here and turns it into a rumour. My biggest fear is some day one of these bullpoop trade ideas may actually happen...making SFO look like a genius
