Sabres name Kyle Okposo as captain

Seems like a rather bizarre choice given he could very well be gone after this season. Pending UFA. He had a bounce back season last season though after three rather mediocre seasons. Maybe they feel he's got more in the tank.

Not really of an odd choice. He’s one of the longest serving member of the team and said he’ll liked to retire as a Sabres, when it’s all said and done.

I understand that, I'd have expected them to have gone with a choice who'd offer more longevity though

 

Perhaps this is their way of honoring his service while kicking the can down the road 

 

Could very well be one of Dahlin, Thompson, or Tuch next season 

 

Sabres fans love the addition of Tuch

Seems like a pretty obvious choice.  Gives a strong leader for the next 1-2 years, while they determine of the young core who would be the next leader.  No sense in rushing to name Thompson, Power, Dahlin or anybody else captain until you see them step up as a leader.  Nice gesture to Okposo who's earned it as well.
