Many questions surround the Buffalo Sabres as the team heads into the upcoming NHL season. Where will Jack Eichel fit in? How will Sam Reinhart work? How about new additions Evander Kane, Ryan O’Reilly and co.?
Another question may be this: who will be the captain of the Buffalo Sabres this coming season?
The quick answer is, of course, Brian Gionta, who wore the “C” last season in his first year with the team. The Rochester native signed with the Buffalo Sabres at the beginning of free agency last July, and he’s got two years left on his contract with Buffalo.
