I’m surprised Benson didn’t get a penalty

There are conflicting reports on this, some state he has been in charge the past two seasons others state he only recently took over. I know that Appert mentioned Ellis runs the PP when he filled in for Granato for those two games. This is not an endorsement of Ellis, I would personally bring in an entire new Assistant Coaching Staff besides Mike Bales. If there is an opportunity to improve the HC Position I would take that as well.

Between this and the Sabres being on a 97 point pace since January 1st, I believe that Granato, Ellis and Bales (with Christie and Wilford being replaced) remain on the Sabres Coaching Staff at the beginning of next season. With the caveat if the team is not in a playoff position on November 15th next season, Granato would most likely be replaced.

From LeBrun As for Calgary, a dozen teams had shown interest in Tanev over the past two months, including some non-contenders like the Ottawa Senators (seeking Tanev’s leadership) and Buffalo Sabres, both of which would have wanted to extend him as part of a trade. But Tanev had some measure of control over things with his modified no-trade clause, and in the end, Dallas was a destination that was alluring to Tanev — where he can go chase the Stanley Cup.
