He might become a good captain someday, but that day is at minimum 3 years away. If Jack sucks at being captain, trade him three years and then give Rasmus the C. if Jack sucks, what team will trade for his $10M/yr cap hit? Quote

The hockey stick graph is hockey sticking the wrong way. If anything, I'd say they initially got better but then returned back to where they started. So it's not so much that he's made them worse, he just hasn't made them better. Quote
shrader Posted September 12, 2018 Report Posted September 12, 2018 He's improved in all categories except explosiveness. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted September 12, 2018 Report Posted September 12, 2018 Jack's progression in the leadership department over the last year and a half is there for anyone who wants to see it. He's probably not ready to be a captain right this second, but he will be at some point, and whether he gets the C or not he will be a leader. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted September 12, 2018 Report Posted September 12, 2018 And damn, Risto's going to be able to cross check guys after they're done scoring on him even better now 1 Quote
LGR4GM Posted September 12, 2018 Report Posted September 12, 2018 Well I am encouraged by what they are saying, it is just words until they prove otherwise. Quote
pi2000 Posted September 12, 2018 Report Posted September 12, 2018 "Rather than placing an emphasis on strength and barbell lifting as Ristolainen had done in the past, Rintala convinced the defenseman to concentrate on building speed and explosiveness. ... The main goal was to be better on the ice. We stopped lifting heavy, did dumbbell stuff, mobility, sprints." ...this is good to hear. Risto needed to work on his functional movements to improve his play around the net. Quote
dudacek Posted September 12, 2018 Report Posted September 12, 2018 Jack for captain, Sam and Risto assistants. Cut the cord, grab the torch. Lets move this franchise forward. Quote
nfreeman Posted September 13, 2018 Report Posted September 13, 2018 How is Sam going to be an alternate captain for the Sabres while skating for SKA St. Petersburg this fall? Quote
Two or less Posted September 13, 2018 Report Posted September 13, 2018 Can't wait to see Risto vs. Kadri this season. ? 1 Quote

They can't be dickering over a single year of term, or a hundred thousand dollars per year of pay. I have no problems with Botterill sticking to his guns, he must see something that makes him hesitant. Quote
