Thorny Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 I'd like to see: ROR - C Eichel - A Reinhart - A I think Eichel assuredly gets a letter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Buffalo Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 I'd like to see: ROR - C Eichel - A Reinhart - A I think Eichel assuredly gets a letter. Only if Eichel brings in Vessey, otherwise Reinhart and Risto as A's and ROR not till Gionta retires and coaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcsaberks Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 I'd like to see it go to O'Reilly now. I get it though, it won't. I think Gionta is a healthy scratch by mid-year, especially if Vesey signs and we are in the hunt for playoffs. Dude is 37! Old man Legwand is 1.5 years younger.

DirtDart Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Should Gionta relinquish his captaincy to Ryan O'Reilly and become an assistant captain this season? I say yes. Not because I dislike Gionta but because it provides ROR an entire year to learn from Gionta if needed while also being the guy. ROR knows his time is coming, I see Gionta retiring after this coming year. If Gionta gives it to him then fine, otherwise let it ride.

dudacek Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) I'd like to see it go to O'Reilly now. I get it though, it won't.

Old man Legwand is 1.5 years younger.Dude finished 45 in Right Wing points last year, 49 in goals - statistically, that's an average second-liner.He was 19th in RW ice time, one tick ahead of Corey Perry (not something Bylsma should be proud of) He's in great shape and he can still skate. I think reports of his looming demise might be greatly exaggerated. I think people haven't really given enough thought to the possibility of the Sabres re-signing him.

Rasmus_ Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Gionta, is here one more season and has done nothing but carry himself well. He's earned the right to captain the team in his final year. Unless extended at a lower cap hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres Fan in NS Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 As long as Gionta is a Sabre he will be Captain. I'm with duda ... I think the Sabres should re-sign him for 2 more years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisse Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 I think Gionta deserves to wear the C. No reason to change it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
