I honestly haven’t seen him play much at all so I don’t know. Who would he partner with?

Power for sure. The injury thing is a real concern, and youd hope it would drive the price down a bit, but even like 50-60 games of him with OP instead of Jokiharju probably makes them a playoff team.

Of course once you get there different set of issues but I figure one thing at a time. The contract also doesnt prevent them from adding someone better in the near future should that player become available.

This series should be good. Let’s go Panthers!

I hear ya. I wish they'd just move to Dahlin, Tuch or Cozens and be done with it. Okposo should be able to lend advise without a letter if he's the leader he's touted as.

Why put the pressure on the young guys so soon?

Look what happened with eichel as captain

Look at him now as just a guy....

some guys play effective hockey when they slow down but that does not mean all slow hockey players are effective


some suck

The fans are also to blame for the drought.

Eichel was never capt material. Just because you are good don't always mean you should be the capt of the team.

That's a very good point.

Same maybe said of dahlin.

Sabres shouldnt rush the decision on captain, this helps the cream rise to the top. Someone will distinguish themselves. Could be cozens.

I don't get that, seems to me Pionk has decent numbers. He's got better Corsi and Fenwick numbers than Parayko and Faulk. Unless I am reading a old chart.
- Buff36

I like using NaturalStatTrick on a player and seeing their Corsi in the With Him/Without Him view...
See who he plays with the most and determing if those teammates improve with or if they improve without him.
While imperfect, I also like to compare OZ Start % vs their Corsi...like to see a higher or at least even Corsi vs the OZ %...again imperfect but gives some context.

That's a very good point.

pretty sure tuch and cozens have already distinguished themselves

Dahlin has the most, behind the scenes.

He can't run again. Having said that getting up that fast from a fall at 80 whatever is pretty impressive.

Wonder who impresses the coaches/management the most.

Kinda gotta like tuch , he's a bit older
Cozens
Dahlin

What about a guy like tage?

Its really a tough call IMO

Let him just take clap bombs from the top of the circles. He doesn’t need a letter.

I’m pretty sure this was common knowledge that he was gonna need this.

But great gaslighting

From what I've seen and heard, Dahlin has been the one leading the team in everything. Off ice workouts, pregame workouts, offseason conditioning, holding players accountable, being vocal when necessary.

Everything.

Dahlin is the captain.

Okposo is just window dressing
