Bylsma is NOT going to be here 2-3 more years. Not with this system. Not with the Sabres best player openly dissing it every chance he gets. Newsflash Dan, the Sabres will choose Eichel over you. It's coming. Just a matter of when.
Sure hope so. They need to keep losing at this point. Nothing to be gained from winning. Increase their odds with the lottery and further cement Bylsma's firing after the season.
The Pegulas and Murray will have ample evidence if they want to make a coaching change in the off season. I'm betting they won't. Hell, they will probably give DB an extension.
What we need is another Eichel type player. We will have to hope Nilander develops into the offensive force in 1-2 years that the front office saw when drafting him.
Even if Eichel and Matthews are even as players, Toronto is far ahead as a team as far as the rebuild progress. And that is embarrassing. GMTM needs to really step it up this summer. Or else I'm betting it'll be his last chance.
This team is very very poor at passing. Other than Jack they suck at it. It may be THE biggest weakness in the team. Defense and passing are THE two biggest issues.
