Report: No deal for Sabres with Todd McLellan

‘TSN’s Bob McKenzie reported Friday that McLellan, who was fired as the Edmonton Oilers’ coach in November, is no longer under consideration for the Sabres’ coaching vacancy and never received a formal offer from the team.’

For Plante, Buffalo still feels like home

‘“It’s fun. About seven-eight years ago was the first time I’d come back here since I played, and it was like ‘wow.’ It’s fun to come back,” said Plante, sitting among the noisy and hopeful throng of Bulldogs fans in one corner of the rink. “There are great memories I had here, playing in this building. I was here when it’s opened, so it’s a lot of fun.”’

Report: Sabres out on Todd McLellan, will continue coaching search

‘McLellan has been connected in reports with Buffalo and the Los Angeles Kings for their head coaching vacancies after the end of the season. However, Buffalo has seemingly backed off of the former San Jose Sharks and Edmonton Oilers coach. With Buffalo’s search to continue, it seems they still have plenty of candidates to work through.’

Keep an eye on Ralph Krueger

‘The timing of Krueger leaving Southampton makes me think that he’s interested in a head coaching gig. His contract didn’t expire with Southampton until June 30. Why depart now? It could very well be that Krueger made himself available now, because several teams in the NHL need a head coach.’
