'The Pegulas aren't likely to can Bylsma this soon after failing with Rex Ryan. But if the Sabres struggle, and if the players (especially Jack Eichel) keep muttering about the system, Bylsma won't be long for Buffalo. If first place can get you fired, maybe the Sabres should raise the standard, too.
