DirtDart Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 I would take botts as GM, and Ruff as an advisor. Coach? No idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabills Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 I think I'm hoping that Calgary is dumb enough to let Treliving walk and we can get him. He's turned Calgary around pretty quickly, and he's well liked up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 My top requirement for a new general manager: Initials that combine with "GM" to form a cool acronym. LGR4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted April 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 @SabresBuzz Next Sabres GM will add veterans who have won Cups. Lombardi can add Muzzin, Martinez, Trevor Lewis, who played with Eichel at Worlds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller Time Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Definitely ready for Lombardi but would like to see Dan Quinn behind the bench. Let's Go Buffalo!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabills Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 I think, like someone upthread said, I could live with Lombardi as long as he hires a coach thats not "old school" coach. However, I'm pretty sure we're going to get the hockey version of Sean McDermott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted April 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Who fits this bill of experienced, proven, and a character guy? I still think it's Lombardi, even with the Voynov fiasco. If he's ruled out because of that, that rules out anyone from Chicago too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's ruled out because of that, that rules out anyone from Chicago too Why? The sexual assault allegations against Kane that resulted in no charges because of an evidence bag hoax? Voynov was charged with a felony, going to be deported, and Lombardi let him practice with the team while suspended by the league. The situations aren't even remotely comparable.

I don't know, just like I didn't know who the hell McDermott was until...hell I still don't know who he is. But loose characteristics: "Tough" coach Defensive minded "Blue collar" Not flashy or brash, just "gets the job done" So, you know, Sutter probably.
