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.
