Pham resides up his own bumhole.

Wonder if Pham has any girgensons PJ.'s?

Who picks a captain for the half /half the season?

Has this ever happened, rotating like pommer /vanek and drury/ briere makes some sense.

Lindy did monthly captains for a few seasons. He made a mockery of it, interesting move for a former C.

Then why go with a soon to be UFA with a long history of injuries, in Okposo? At this point what's one more season without one?

Good points, not sure if either vanek or pommer really had what okposo has. Anonymous respect

I see this captain as a permanent guy IMO.

Probably gonna cost the Sabres a little more and a longer term if okposo is the captian.

Probably kiss him goodbye if tuch is named captain or more so dahlin.

I'm sure KA is ready to offer an extension anyways.

Okposo is Pommer, quietly leads by example Not really what you want as a C.

That's a very good point.

Seems very obvious okposo will be captain.

From a team perspective:
You want someone everyone respects (players /management/ownership)

But as long as whomever they pick , fits the profile.

The last guy didn't have what it took.

I had a preemptive C sewed on my Prysk turdburger jersey in June before Adams let him walk (huge mistake)

Is Okposo's lockeroom presence more valuable than having Peterka or Murray in the lineup?

Not sure why you would think Murray would be withing 100 miles of being an upgrade over Okposo

We both know it wasnt intentional 😀

Pommer was kinda a hybrid, he was scoring goals/ leading on the score sheet and a respected leader.

I'm not sure if you need to be the most skilled player to be a captain?

Just made that mistake with jerkoff eichel.

The difference between off ice leadership / between tuch and okposo probably isnt that huge of a deal. I think okposo would feel disrespected and maybe some of his teammates as well ( for kyle) .

As early as this season peterka is gonna match the on ice contributions IMO.

I cant make to see him be a permanent sabre.
More excited about peterka than quinn personally

Damn, that would have been a great joke.

No secret that Lindy preferred weaker captains. Okposo is in that mold.

nice reed...

For me it is so clearly Tuch. I like Okie but why bother giving him the C if he wont be on the team next year.

He's openly criticized himself for doing exactly that.

Yeah, a lot of teams just hand the captaincy to their best player no matter if they're qualified or not, but it doesnt have to be that way. Gilbert Perreault didn't want to be captain which was fine.
