Campy Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Bucky Gleason @TBNbucky 30s Sources: Sabres have reached an agreement with Hall of Famer Bryan Trottier to serve as assistant coach under Ted Nolan. Bucky Gleason @TBNbucky 1m Trottier won seven Cups -- six as a player and one as coach in Colorado. He's been out of NHL coaching for years, but he brings experience.

That Aud Smell Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Also, he knows a thing or two about Brian Bellows. Seriously, though. This would appear to be a terrific hiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 So they hired a sexist homophobe? Nice. Pittsburgh pedigree though, that's the key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IKnowPhysics Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) Outstanding hiring. I think this is what having Craig Patrick on board buys you. Patrick and Trottier were together from '93 to '97. http://blogs.buffalo...-assistant.html Apparently, Nolan was high on Trottier from the start: The sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said Nolan had Trottier high on his list from the beginning. The two forged a relationship when Nolan coached the New York Islanders and hold one another in high regard. Trottier had been out of coaching but apparently was willing to come back for Nolan.

nfreeman Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Interesting. It doesn't seem like Trots is going to be the Xs and Os guy. Still, the staff won't be short in the charisma/inspiration department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kas23 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 He was also Wayne Gretzky before Wayne Gretzky was Wayne Gretzky: [/font][/color] Geez, he must really hate Wayne Gretzky. Otherwise, I think this is a high risk, high reward hire. The guy had been out of coaching for a while, but was great when he was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's an age thing i believe he makes his home in greater pittsburgh. and there is the craig patrick overlap -- the islanders bought trottier out in his mid-30s and offered him a cushy FO job. trottier still wanted to play. patrick targeted him, and it worked out quite well.

He's older, and language has evolved, and I hope we won't hear that out of him. But that word stuck out significantly. I didn't watch the whole thing so I don't know what sexist remark was made. I also don't know how my disdain for a disgusting remark in another thread defines me as "the politically correct one," but in your fine tradition of ######-stirring for no reason at all, carry on.

They were both w/ the Isles at the same time Patty was there. Which is probably were TN got the idea he could work w/ Trots. Still don't see how hiring a HoF player puts a Jak Adams Award winner on any shorter leash than he already was on. A Patrick hire? Question mark. As Dan Rather used to say, underline it, italicize it, put it in bold type. A Patrick hire? Ahhhhhh. Thank you for the clarification. I kind of see it as a Nolan hire, but ok.
