decision to make as they decide on who will wear the C for the Sabres next season.

Today’s poll is really easy, all you have to do is pick who you think has done enough to become the next Sabres captain.

Was it fan favourite Steve Ott who sported the C in the final preseason game and made the trip to New York for NHL media day? What about Cody Hodgson who signed a long-term deal to stick with the Sabres at the beginning of camp? Not to forget about Christian Ehrhoff? The silent leader who will be a Sabre longer than anyone else on the current roster. Or how about Offencive threat Thomas Vanek, will the C entice the long-time Sabre to remain a Sabre?

Anyone of the players listed above would make a great captain for the rebuilding Sabres and they all bring their own pros and cons. They have all stated their cases this preseason, but which has done enough?

Vote in the poll and then state your case below for who you believe should become the next captain of the Buffalo Sabres.
