> [@BuickGN](#): > > sit in a suite box every week then ill be impressed with ur seats. Honestly, suite boxes are pretty gay. Having food/drinks 2 feet away from you is pretty cool, but the atmosphere in them is lame. As for Rivet- holy shit, after listening to this, I’m in love with this guy. > **[Official Buffalo Sabres Website | Buffalo Sabres](https://www.nhl.com/sabres/errors/not-found)** > > The official National Hockey League website including news, rosters, stats, schedules, teams, and video. And just for fun, here are some responses to the Captaincy from Montreal and Sharks fans: > [@JOEsus"](#): > > Rivet is all about the team. As a Sharks fan I absolutely hated trading him away and replacing him with Blake. He was always extremely vocal on the bench and I assume in the locker room as well. He’s perfect captain material IMO and I think you will see it in time. :handclap: > [@PennyPylon"](#): > > As a Sharks fan I can tell you Rivet will be a great captain…real stand-up guy. > > Still PO’d at Doug Wilson for trading him. ☹ > [@JaymzB"](#): > > You guys will love Craig. He’s a great choice for Captain. Always there for a teammate, and will never back down against anyone. > [@Judge Sauer"](#): > > Like everyone else from the Habs and Sharks have said, you guys are going to love Rivet on your team. > [@CAhockeyfan"](#): > > Sharks fan here saying awesome move Sabres! Rivet is a quality person and should make a great C. There are a lot of people here pulling for him and sorry he’s not still a Shark. > [@airlouche"](#): > > As a Habs fan, i think naming Rivet captain is a good move, Rivet is a hard worker and a natural leader, at 34 he’s got a lot of experience and enough maturity for this role. > [@TexasShark"](#): > > Good for him, and good for you guys. > > Rivet will be missed in SJ and there was more than a few people who felt he would have been a better option for the C while he was there. I actually couldn’t find a single negative comment about him. ---

Looking back at it, the trade to San Jose was Rivet and Gerbe, I believe, for Campbell. What a steal. ---
