I want to see a LIV golfer win The Open (i.e. Dustin Johnson). I want chaos.

Literally nobody has said that no one has said any of that nonsense.

If nobody said that no one has said then how do we know who said it?

I'll quote Harrington from your article...

"Still, you watched the ice and saw so much worth watching. Owen Power was out there. So were Peyton Krebs, Jack Quinn, JJ Peterka and Mattias Samuelsson. There's plenty of hope for lots of draft picks. This really is the way to do things. The Sabres already short-cutted in the past and it failed miserably. Look at how Colorado just won a Stanley Cup five years after a 48-point season, not finishing the team off with trades or free agents until it was totally ready to contend."

He realizes there entire roster was made up of traded players outside of 4 guys.....

Your drafted core is what will win you a cup. This is true of every team in the cap era.

Sure, I really don't think anyone has complained about what is going on with the development of players and building up the pipeline. Not very often when some really good players who are young in there own right become available at very reasonable prices and a Team has the assets to improve there team for the know and future without really hurting anything. I really like Donnie, I was leading the pack to hire him with all the article's I posted on him. Love the growth of the young players and we have a really bright future. IMO they missed on a opportunity to strengthen there Hockey Team. Just because I think that doesn't make me think less of what is happening in that locker room.

I don't want to knock the guy for all he's been through, but this screams to the rest of the hockey world how low the standard really still is here.

At least when they did this with Brian Gionta back in 2015, he was a guy that had won championships. Kyle Okposo can't teach these guys how to win because he's never come close to doing it.

No way they name okposo captain until September?

Have you heard something or watched the development camp video?

Guy has stepped up big time. Works his ass off, leads by example on and off. I don't know who you think is more deserving at this point.

Couldn't disagree more.

Kyle has done everything to earn the honor of captain.

He's respected thru out the hockey world.

If you're going to go that route, give me someone what at least knows how to win, not a guy that knows how to make other guys feel good about themselves.

You don't need to win championships to be a leader. But to each their own.

I guess since no one on that team has won a cup then they just shouldn't have a captain.

We've both watched the same frustration.
Probably more than thatguy

Just constant complaints with ZERO answers

Very draining to read the same poster cry all day every day no matter how many disagree with him.

You're a wet blanket on kyle.

Consider the last captain, that guy (not thatguy tm) didnt know how to win or make people feel good about themselves
