No one. The GM doesn't pick the captains.

If Bylsma is still here. I didn't get even close to "he's safe to go to next year" out of that presser. That was all cover your ass by Murray in case Pegula tells him to fire him, or Murray seeks permission to fire him. Anyway if he's still here, I think it goes to ROR.

A new coach, totally depends, but I'd think they'd want a fresh start and go with Eichel.

If Pegula is going to devote 90% of his attention to the Bills, and that's his prerogative, then they need a step above Murray. He needs someone to a) bounce ideas off of, b) give some guidance and c) someone to answer to in a timely manner. Otherwise, if Pegula is going to spend more time on the Sabres, a VP of operations is kind of redundant.

I'm going to have to disagree here I think overseas is better for development laine , nylander , Matthews did it and it helped them become the players they are now

I don't need someone in the NHL that's a career fighter or some crap headhunting my player
I want him to play with men

Just my opinion of course

That's the AHL way more than it's the NHL.

I must've missed that. That's extremely out of the ordinary. It's either the coach, or the players in the room vote. If that is indeed the case, that's another vote of no confidence in Bylsma for Murray.

I was shocked when he said I guess he doesn't trust the players to make the right decision idk

Pretty sad they are talking about who the F$$KIN Captain is going to be, what a complete dysfunctional organization this is.

It sounds like there's a lot of people in that locker room that's okay with losing like it's no big deal
