Looks like the Sens are about to lose another first rounder! /s

In all seriousness, congrats!

 

[Siludin]

This year's Quinn Hughes?

 

[MOGlLNY]

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.

[Sasha Orlov]

Obvious choice here

 

[ViD]

You’re telling me you give a C to a guy that can’t grow beard ?

Zero play off success will ensue (or continue ? )

 

[WarriorOfGandhi]

they were really dilly-dahlin about making this decision

...I'll see myself out

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Hedman and now Dahlin

 

[DapperCam]

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

I'm sure there's some people out there that would find that to be a plus

Buffalo loves the guy. To me it is a player that may very well elevate his game with the responsibility.

[Fatass]

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.

Leadership from back end among swedes continues.

Lars-Erik Sjoberg, Salming (informal), Kenny Jonsson, Kim Johnsson, Lidstrom, Mattias Norstrom, Erik Karlsson, OEL, Victor Hedman and Dahlin.

Some others with leader abilities: Kjell Samuelsson, Ulf Samuelsson, Tommy Albelin, Tomas Jonsson, Calle Johansson, Fredrik Olausson, Mattias Ohlund

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.

 

[benfranklin]

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).

A voiceover endorsement from Josh Freakin’ Allen?
Don’t get much better than that.
