    So how come you think it wouldn’t be the 2 years you had suggested previously? 

    I’m glad they share my timeline 

    I’m a reasonable man 

    ..Shut up

    If it was anyone else but Lindy, it would have been two years. 
    Lindy could easily be moved into an advisory role as Pegula trusts him. 
    The same could not have been said about other hires

    Berube and Gallant amongst a few others did have interviews with the Sabres via zoom the past few days

    It would not surprise me if Adams mentioned Ruff replacing Granato in season, but was rebuffed by Pegula 

    Ellis is not guaranteed a spot behind the bench 

    One member of the staff will be a coach in waiting as mentioned before.  Appert is my guess.

    If it was Peca, I doubt Lavy or the Rangers would block him from moving. 
     

    Ruff will spend a lot of time around the Amerks over the next few weeks getting know the prospects as well as Appert. 
     

    And @Thorny if this does go south, your prediction will come true next offseason.  That’s a reason why Adams hired Lindy he knows they can work together.

    I'm saying Sullivan has worked with a locker room filled with seasoned veterans and at least one of the best leaders in the league. How he'd function in a room like we have is unknown. 

    Bylsma had ROR when he was still loving it. 

    The Sabres would have a pretty good idea of what he would bring to the table. He has a relationship with Jason Karmanos, Sam Ventura and Mike Bales was on His Staff.  In the unlikely event the Penguins let him go he should get consideration for the Sabres HC Position

    Can't see this happening unless Crosby wants Sullivan gone. Not this year anyway.

    If it did though I'm not sure Sullivan is what we need. Remember Bylsma had success with Crosby too. 

    This version of the Sabres has a lot more talent than Bylsma’s Sabres. 
    Eichel and Reinhart were first and second year players during their two seasons with him. 
    Not sure that’s the best comparison, especially since Bylsma wore out his welcome with Crosby and Malkin very rapidly.

    It doesn’t sound like the Penguins are going to fire Sullivan (from the Athletic):

     

    “• Dubas praised the coaching staff and said the Penguins’ issues were his fault but also stopped short of saying the entire coaching staff will be retained. Rather, Dubas said he will discuss the staff with head coach Mike Sullivan before any final changes are made.”

    I do wonder if another Toronto First Round Exit spells the end for Sheldon Keefe. That could start a cascade as Dubas and Keefe are close from their days with Soo Greyhounds and possibly free up Sullivan.
