Rasmus Dahlin has been appointed captain of the Buffalo Sabres, succeeding Kyle Okposo. At just 24, Dahlin is praised for his exemplary on-ice performance and leadership skills by both his coach, Lindy Ruff, and general manager, Kevyn Adams. Dahlin, the No. 1 pick in the 2018 NHL Draft, has already made significant contributions to the team and is regarded as a game-changer.

The Sabres have also named four alternate captains, enhancing the team’s leadership dynamics. As they prepare for the upcoming season opener against the New Jersey Devils in Prague, Dahlin's role as captain offers promise for the team aiming to break their playoff drought since 2011.
