Sabres name Brian Gionta 27th team captain; Gorges and Moulson get As

[Doohicksie]

Zombie thread time.   I didn't want to start a new one just for this.

 

Thought experiment:  Say for a moment that the C and As were up for grabs.  At this point in the rebuild, who gets them?

 

I think ROR gets the C.  If what you see in the media is at all indicative of what is going on in the locker room, he's the team leader.

 

The first A goes to Jack.  He's already shown that he's one of the best players and is mature beyond his years, even as he learns the NHL game.

 

After that, there are several others who might get the second A.  Looking for someone who's most likely part of the future core, I'm thinking (in no particular order), Zemgus, Deslauriers, Foligno, Risto or Kane.
