Hoss Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 This wasn't Ted Black's job. He's team president. Completely different. That's like saying "but I thought Obama was the president of Walmart?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 I will guess... Sabres are moving Darcy to head of Hockey Operations and someone is becoming the new GM... or at least this is my dream/hope/prayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROC Sabres Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Reporter: Darcy, what will this new position be responsible for? Darcy: Nothing really but we won last night so figured we should have a presser and call it "major" news and pat each other on the back.

Hoss Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 I've been saying they should bring it Pat LaFontaine for this position for a while now. I'd be ecstatic. If they announce the position but haven't hired anyone yet then I give up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristian Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 But holy smokes: Imagine if they'd wooed Lafontaine back into the fold to serve as President of Hockey Ops? I'd love to see LaFontaine back with the Sabres, but not as long as DR is here to mess things up either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobody Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) http://www.pennlive....0/post_378.html Joe Battista “I will be responsible for hockey development and strategic initiatives across the entire spectrum of the Pegula’s hockey organizations,” Battista’s statement explained. “I will work in collaboration with Buffalo Sabres President Ted Black, General Manager Darcy Reiger, and Chief Development Officer Cliff Benson, as well as HarborCenter CEO John Koelmel to maximize communication and to coordinate, implement, and optimize all our hockey related business."

nucci Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Unless it's about Rolston, Regier or Miller this shouldn't be called major. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patty16 Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Unless it's about Rolston, Regier or Miller this shouldn't be called major. Agreed. A new position without a blockbuster name ............ isnt major. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrm33064 Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 I've been saying they should bring it Pat LaFontaine for this position for a while now. I'd be ecstatic. We all love Pat LaFontaine, but it's a tad, eh, Marv Levy-ish? A terrifying - yet sincerely brilliant - forecast of what a Buffalo franchise typically does. Reach back into the past ... an overblown past that actually includes no championships ... with disastrous (predictable) results ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsixspd Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT - "Veterans, you cannot be refused for this coverage" :P Color me highly skeptical. If it's more management layers, it just muddies the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
