    Are there any coaches that could get canned if they flunk out in the first round? Beyond that? No sarcasm - genuinely curious how warm/hot some of those seats might be. I'd think after the first round, not too many? In which case, GMKA (not sure if I am fully comfortable diving right into using GM Howdy Doody) could start now, dilly dally just a little, see what round 1 holds, then full speed ahead?

    The interesting name is Sullivan in Pittsburgh but he signed a massive deal and helped in the search for the GM (Dubas) so I don’t know where he stands.

    Adams and Brindamour are friends so if he knew Brindamour was leaving then he would have a different tune and say he is waiting for the playoffs to end.

    He has a roll for them. Sounded like on the coaching staff. 

    An apology without change is just manipulation. He can say whatever he wants but until his actions match those words, they are irrelevant. 

    Thanks. I don’t think any coach worth his salt is allowing Adams to saddle them with Ellis and Wilford

    He's only sorry because he got caught I can't forgive people like him

    He ruined a career for a kid so his career should be ruined also

    What happened was awful but how did Quenneville directly ruin the kid’s career? The coaching staff at the AHL level and Bowman as GM would have been more directly involved.

    It should have been handled way differently from an organizational standpoint.

    All I’m saying is Quenneville was disciplined by the league and if they decide to reinstate him as some sources seem to think, he will be sought after as he is an excellent coach. If he is available the Sabres should talk to him.

    I think Brindamour is extended already in Carolina.

    Berube brings exactly what Adams was spewing today: experience, structure, fire, Cup champion

    Quenneville is the wildcard. He made a mistake and paid the price. He has apparently taken all the steps to improve himself.  He has paid his debt and will get a second chance. I think it should be in Buffalo. Brings everything Adams is looking for.

    Ruff is the low hanging fruit and the least desirable choice but does add what Adams wants.

    Gallant and Boudreau are not known for structure.

    Berube or Quenneville are the hopes, Ruff is the fallback expectation.

    It will be interesting because Adams sounded like his ass is in the fire now. I would expect some trades and signings this summer that are outside his comfort zone.

    What is Adams going to say today?

    If it is about taking the next step than it can’t be Appert.

    Is he going to Atleast BS U.S. by throwing out the idea of an actual coaching search?

    I mean Sullivan could shake loose in Pittsburgh. Guys like Berube, Quenneville, Boudreau, Gallant are all itching to get back behind a bench.

    Brindamour is the unicorn dream right now.

    If all that experience and talent is out there and they just go Appert than Terry’s pocket book is closed, the internal cap is staying and the future sucks.

    Brindamour is my 1A choice and Quenneville is 1b, Beurube 3rd.

    Quenneville has taken a lot of steps to meet with people and try to better himself. He’s itching to get back behind the bench. 3 Cups, would be able to help attract high level coaches for his staff and players on the ice. Someone will give him a second chance and be happy they did. Might as well be Buffalo.

    Why are some people so fixated on Ruff? 

    He was here 258854445 years, no cups. Rode Dominick Haseks coat tails most of the time. Overused Miller, didn't handle goaltenders well overall. Botched the gameplan against Boston in 2010. Too many men penalty comes to mind, (sigh). The lost goes on 

    Did nothing in Dallas with a talented roster, even missed the playoffs with them. 

    Recently fired again

    If they hire Ruff this is the same concept as when they traded back for Pominville. A lazy, cheap fan appeasing move. Hard no 

    I'd like Gallant above all else, big time hard no to Ruff and Appert or anything like that 

    Its time to be serious 

    Why are people so fixated on Peca? Was assistant coach in Rochester and now assistant for the Rangers. We don’t know how good he will eventually be but now is not the time for another first time coach.

    I don't feel anything. I thought I would be happy or excited or curious or something. I feel nothing, like why should I even care? 

    Mostly because you don’t trust who they are going to bring in to replace him.

    I hope they realize they are at a point of completely losing the fanbase and this hiring is crucial. It has to be a hire that makes the fanbase say “Wow they are serious about finally fixing this mess”
