3putt Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 What's his secret deal going to be? 1 year and then head of instruction at Harborcenter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 What's his secret deal going to be? 1 year and then head of instruction at Harborcenter? He used to coach Crosby, Toews, and Okposo. Clearly they are getting the band back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkman Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Ah...what no MacKinnon and Parise? Well yeah before long you get to Drew Stafford and we don't need to upset Eleven like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3putt Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Why not? Im with We've, he better send lawyers guns and money instead of WC. I like the hire. I think Shattucks has been the breeding ground for great players for a long time and he will be able to relate to the talent we are bringing in. They are innovative as well.

He's been working with boys all his life. He'll need an adjustment year of working with men. Then, who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Man, I would kill for a decent name on this coaching staff. Not talking qualifications here, just a decent-sounding name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Tom Ward is right up there with Tom Riddle. There's definitely something funny about him. I heard he can speak to snakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Maybe Giorgio Estephan can join the staff after his playing career? Bring over Gates Orlando from Italy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasmus_ Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 It's definitely an interesting hire. Something outside the box, sort of similar but not completely to the Hakstall hire in Philly last offseason. No one saw that coming. It's just an assistant and I know its hard to compare to a National Championship winning College coach. But, sort of unexpected. Neat.

PASabreFan Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 What happened to Don Forrest? And why is TM not listed under Hockey Department? http://sabres.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=36588 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Murray is probably regarded as one of the best. He's on our staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Terry Murray is probably regarded as one of the best. He's on our staff. I know. And he has a good hockey name. I mean, what's Randy Ladouceur doing this days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
