MattPie Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 No one this year. They'll put on A on someone. Ott would be the logical choice based on most posts around here, but as some mention you don't really want your agitator to also be your interface with the refs.

... Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I say they shouldn't screw around and just slap the C on Ott. I don't care if he yaps too much on the ice...in fact, I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wjag Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 With Ott at Captain, Sabres will run the table going 13-0 and fall short of the playoffs leaving the fans hopeful for next year... And the Buffalo sports fan cycle continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WanderingEye Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Probably nobody for the balance of this year, there'll just be another A which should be Ott but will probably be Jochen Hecht or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saudi Arabia Rob Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Vanek has said he won't sign an extension so screw him. Ott all the way. I don't think he said he wouldn't sign an extension, he said he wanted to know if this was going to be a short or long rebuilding. I can't really blame him. He could easily get to some cup contender in the next year or so if the Sabres look like they are simply rebuilding and don't have some plan to become competitors again. Do agree on Ott however.

TrueBlueGED Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Why make Ott captain? He's just deadline fodder next year. Give it to Hodgson and let the rebuild commence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

... Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Why make Ott captain? He's just deadline fodder next year. Give it to Hodgson and let the rebuild commence. I don't think so. Unless his game seriously regresses by the deadline next season, he's totally the leader for a new-look Buffalo. I can't see Hodgson being any better a captain than Pominville has been. Character means everything for that assignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I don't think so. Unless his game seriously regresses by the deadline next season, he's totally the leader for a new-look Buffalo. I can't see Hodgson being any better a captain than Pominville has been. Character means everything for that assignment. What I meant was, if this is a full-on rebuild, what makes anyone think Ott will want to stick around? He'll be a UFA next summer at 31, my guess is he wants to have a shot at winning. And I'm not sure how you can questions Pommer's character...leadership fine, but character? Maybe you meant something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I do mean "character". I think it's pretty clear Pominville's type of character has no impact on the players; it's been clear his character is about as flat as Rolston's in interviews. He bitched in French about Lindy to foreign press, but couldn't bring himself to say the same in English to the local press. He's a loyal soldier, but not a leader of men. That's how I read him, and I think he's been ineffective as a captain to be fair. Ott seems to me to be the kind of person who will make the best where-ever he is at, and since he has a family he may not want to move around more. Frankly, I think Ott may very well be into the idea of trying lead a team on a Cup run. And if Weber is staying, then Ott may want to stay. Unfortunately, I can not quantify it all, just impressions I have gathered over time and have synthesized them into the above thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJFIVEOH Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Ott's going to be 31 next season. He's not going to want to be a part of a complete rebuild. He's going to follow the same path as Vanek and Miller, and that's out of town. It's really unfortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
