Buffalo Sabres: 3 reasons Dylan Cozens will be a team captain

Dylan Cozens is a popular choice among fans to be the next Buffalo Sabres captain. Kyle Okposo is the most likely choice for captain in 2022-23. Alex Tuch will probably wear the C patch after Okosso. If Oko stays in Buffalo long-term, he will be captain for his swan song.

Dylan Cozens visited the Buffalo Sabres development camp on Thursday. He wants to become a team captain. Cozen has been in touch with the head coach Don Granato since the 2022 NHL Draft. He wanted to be involved with Sabres prospects.
