WildCard Posted April 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Sorry if I missed it, but hockeybuzz reports Maciver is very interested in the Sabres, and will bring Dineen with him wherever he goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Schoenfeld, great player, decent coach, but has he ever been a GM in the NHL? I know he worked for the Rags at some point, but he was never the GM. Imho there are only 2 candidates; Lombardi if we want experience, Fenton if we want long-term smart management. I would want both ... Lombardi for PHO and Fenton (or some such) as GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted April 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Harrington has a surprisingly good article on why Lombardi would be a big mistake. His contracts are terrible and his two Cups completely mask the failures of the Kings in every other year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 The Sabres have hung banners in the foyer of the arena that say Communication, Structure, Character, and Discipline What a joke. The Sabres are a joke right now, but I love them still. Actually, it's all Pegula. Could have saved money and just hung one that said "buzz words" :lol: :flirt: Harrington has a surprisingly good article on why Lombardi would be a big mistake. His contracts are terrible and his two Cups completely mask the failures of the Kings in every other year Well, the Sabres have had all the failures, but no cups. So, ...

kas23 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) It is. I'm on mobile, is that photoshopped? If so, my mistake I don't think you're mistaken. I just think it's going to take more than 2 days to get those banners printed and hung up, especially since it's the weekend. They'll come, though, they'll come.

inkman Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 As long as there's some meat on the bone and it's not just former Sabre great, I've heard of him, he was a dynamic player so it'll be fun to watch the Sabres again, etc. What part of him coaching would make the Sabres fun to watch?

TrueBlueGED Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 What part of him coaching would make the Sabres fun to watch? Well, if defensemen rushing the puck is something he incorporates, that'll help offense and game flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom webster Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 If Washington wins tonight that's no hockey for three days. Not sure how fast they plan on hiring someone but you know the league would like the announcement to come before playoff hockey starts up again.

The perennial cellar dwellers, Buffalo Sabres hiring a coach would be a distraction from playoff hockey?

Expansion and regular draft, plus a new head coach, scouts, and FA decisions.

Are the Sabres allowed to hire an AGM from a current playoff team at anytime, or do they need to wait until they are eliminated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second, the league does not like anything taking away from their narrative. It's a yearly thing and the league lets teams know how they feel when news leaks on game days.

Second: Is it a big leak, really? They could do it in the middle of the slowest week/month of the year and NHL network wouldn't even do a full segment on it.

Huckleberry Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 How did we jump from page 4 to 9 already :D I'm not reading back on all of this, I want the right person for this job. When Murray got picked I was one of the first to jump on the murray bandwagon. Now I say the right GM is the one that brings me a stanley cup in 3 years. Well, we shall see. My money is on the guys from chi town, relatively soon, or the boys from music city in a couple weeks. Problem is , you can't wait weeks, the expansion draft would screw us over. Unless TP has confidence in the choices already made by murray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
