    Are Ellis and Girardi also auditioning for full-time gigs as well?

    Seems to me that Ellis probably has more to do with Mittelstadt than any other factor. And how much influence has Girardi had on transforming Dahlin and Joki?

    Whether they stay behind the bench or not, they certainly seem to be showing results in their roles as development coaches.

    I don't know how good they are at assistant coaches - but it would seem mad for NHL franchises with young players not to have dedicated development coaches (unless it brings too many cooks or something)

    I’m not sure the “inject this into my veins“ line is appropriate for a company/team etc.

    I much prefer sports teams social media to be interesting and fun. Far too many take a boring corporate attitude. Give me Gritty and give me chaos. It's meant to be entertaining

  3. Does Jack still Play for the Sabres?

    I have never known so little information to be provided about a teams star player when they’re injured.

    As far as I know, we don’t know his injury, the timeline or his return, his thoughts on the coaching change, comments on player development etc.

    We know nothing - it’s like he has just taken off to live in a cabin in the woods to get away from it all.

    Has he played his last game as a Sabre?

  4. I don’t really understand people’s anger. Hall basically said he would only waive for one team. That team knew it, and is also sitting on the bubble, so didn’t want to go all in.

    They offered a third knowing it was take the third or get nothing. They then got slammed by the caps and made it a second.

    Yes, this happened because of the NMC. But you have to give those out. Buffalo isn’t seen as the best place to play. As a result the players have the power.

    Someone probably takes a discount and no trade protection to play for TB, as they think winning the cup is worth it.

    Whereas the Sabres are realistically 2 years minimum from making the playoffs again.

    Therefore in order to attract the best talent you have to show you are a good place for players to be - that you will respect and help them in their careers.

    Yeah it sucks. But that’s the cost when you haven’t made the playoffs in 10 years and have a dismal future for the next season.
