Who would it apply to if not "fired" coaches and GMs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#freejame Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger 2m2 minutes ago Bylsma officially hired by Sabres. Give up a 3rd round pick next year as compensation. So does that mean it wasn't ours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Crotch Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 WGR will have the news conference. It's exciting to finally have a head coach, and one with a Stanley Cup victory on his resume. Welcome Disco Dan Bylsma! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doohickie Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 This rule they created shouldn't apply to coaches who were fired and the fact they don't have language to that affect, :wallbash: They have purchased the rights to his services through the end of next season. Even though they're not using the services, they own the rights to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 So does that mean it wasn't ours? Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie 2m2 minutes ago PIT gets 2016 3rd rd pick from BUF as compensation. Pick was originally NYI but has condition attached to it, so PIT likely getting VAN pick Buffalo Sabres Stats @SabresStats 46s46 seconds ago Per @SabresPR, Dan Bylsma has the best points percentage (.668) of any head coach in NHL history with at least three full seasons coached.

Hoss Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 If you want to WATCH the presser live at 4 p.m. instead of just listening and have TWC then you can tune into TWC News. 1 or 9 on most boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That allows for the possibility of some low end RFA offer sheets. Glad the Sabres held tight and didn't give up the Sabres own 2016 3rd. The value of the 3rd doesn't matter much IMO, but that it isn't the Buffalo pick is good for flexibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 It is. But I don't think many of those guys have done it again with another team. How NHL head coaches have won more than 1 cup? Just curious to know. Obviously Daryl Sutter and Joel Quennville but who else has won cups as a coach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBHockey13 Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 "I'm making sure he signs it this time, you can't fool me again with that invisible ink trick..." It would be funny, though, if Blysma had found out the Devils were in the middle of an interview with Boucher and then called them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
