We don't know how much input the Pegs have here. I, like you, hope their 10 year track record is a hint they should let Adams and Karmanos drive the bus.
That would be next to impossible to do. And if you could it would cost more than a new downtown dome. Consider how wide that stadium is. You can't just drop a roof on it. And why would you sink that kind of money into a 50-year old-plus stadium?
Granato went to the finals in the USHL, won the Kelly Cup in the ECHL, and was AHL Coach of the Year with Worcester. It's not like he hasn't won games as a head coach.
He does have a long track record of getting to a certain point and failing miserably. Hence why he's got a long resume and not coaching now. Hiring Boudreau is analogous to the Bills hiring Rex Ryan. You should also pay attention to Bruce's comments on hockey media regarding the Sabres.
I get we all hate Terry and Kim, but be serious for a moment. They own the flippin' team. Why wouldn't they have the right to know what's happening with the Sabres?
