Wasn't gonna be anybody else. This kid has earned everything he's gotten and I'm glad we didn't just hand it over to him.

Sabres best player (AINEC in my opinion). Also hates losing with a passion, hopefully the beginning of something great.

You’re telling me you give a C to a guy that can’t grow beard ?
I'm sure there's some people out there that would find that to be a plus

Highest paid guy on their club, and by a lot. Plays physical. We will see how he does with the extra media scrutiny a captain has to handle, especially if the Sabres have another bad year.

That’s hot.

With the Bills bumpin and the Sabres swangin, who knows how we’ll disappoint this year! The sky is the limit, and then it is a long plummet down from there, but goddamn, what a view!

Great pick, ‘bout time we gave the reigns over to him. Feels like he’s quietly bided his time and learned, but is just about done losing. This season and move helps facilitate that change.

Tough to argue against. He doesnt come off as someone who is overly vocal, but obviously were not in the locker room. I hope hes a real leader and its not simply a give the best player the C who we know will be here for a while.

Baby Kjell was just named an alternate captain in this same announcement (not sure if he counts as Swedish).
