Sabre Leader

This player you see in the picture is the new captain of the Buffalo Sabres.  His name is Jason Pominville, and this news was first reported by Buffalo News.  This development comes just before the Sabres hit the ice in Finland for their opening games against the Anaheim Ducks, and this will be Pominville's first full run as captain, as he had previously been captain in a rotation for the 2007-08 season.  He is not the superstar that Ryan Miller or Tomas Vanek are, nor is he an up and comer that Drew Stafford is, but he is a dependable player that you can pencil in for at least 30 goals a year on an average year.

As of this writing, only Colorado and Florida have not named captains.
