Buffalo Sabres name Jack Eichel as their newest captain entering 2018-19 season

'Buffalo clearly has faith in him to lead the team on and off the ice as they look to start establishing some positive momentum in their rebuild.

The Sabres picked the perfect time to name Jack Eichel captain

'It’d be foolish to assert Eichel isn’t ready. Battling through a second straight injury-shortened campaign, Eichel fell three points shy of posting point-per-game scoring numbers in 2017-18 and his 25 goals and 64 points were both career-best marks.

It's Go Time!

'It’s all there for Housley. He obviously doesn’t have to win the Stanley Cup this year, and probably doesn’t even have to make the playoffs. But they’ve gotta be better, it’s got to be obvious, and it has to happen quickly. Too many Octobers and Novembers have destroyed this team.

'"I think we can do a lot, we have a lot of young talent, a lot of young players," Hutton told 7ABC. "I think it is one of those things that there is a little bit of unknown with some young kids that will get a big chance to play here.
