PromoTheRobot Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Let's see who his coach is first. Murray seemed the same way, and then hired Byslma Really Babdick was the target. Bylsma was the rebound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Really Babdick was the target. Bylsma was the rebound. That's like going after a 10 and landing a 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 So Tocchet is probably coach? I hope not, at least not without serious consideration of other candidates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Broken record: fingers crossed Murray was our Tallon, Botterill will be our Bowman. Now just go hire our Quenville. Yep. He looks good on paper & has recieved good recommendations. Let's hope he lives up to it. Would still like to see a new team president w/ a hockey background to help him.

woods-racer Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Really Babdick was the target. Bylsma was the rebound. Babcock was Terry's pick. Bylsma was Murray's pick. Can't wait to see who we get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would still like to see a new team president w/ a hockey background to help him. Yeah, I feel the same. He certainly looks like a good choice, but time will tell. It's absolutely imperative they find the right HC for this particular group of players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 @BuffNewsVogl Follow More Penguins GM Jim Rutherford said on @TheInstigators that the Sabres called him about Jason Botterill before they fired Tim Murray. Yeah, I kept that in bold cause I thought it was that interesting I think Terry knew the outcome of the exit meetings and was scouting for GMs so if he did *just up and fire * EXGMTM he knew he could get one in a timely manner. Very interesting. Who made the call? In hindsight, Murray's "If I'm back" should have gotten a lot more play. He clearly knew he was on the rops. Instead, the ridiculous "coffee comment" got all the attention. I think Murray was told he and his coach were being fired before the season end presser he held.

WildCard Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 I think Murray was told he and his coach were being fired before the season end presser he held. Why would he even do the presser then, or even meet with Pegula. Also, that would be wholly unprofessional and short sighted of Pegula to a) treat his employees like that and b) make a decision before meeting with him.

Sabel79 Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 I dunno that he had been told, but in retrospect he obviously knew he was done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all because he was / is still technically an employee of the Sabres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 I seriously doubt TM was surprised by his lett go. I don't know any good professionals that don't have a feeling for where they stand with their boss. That presser response struck me as from someone who at least had an inkling that the boss was disatisfied enough to be communicating change.

Georgia Blizzard Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 I think Murray was told he and his coach were being fired before the season end presser he held. More likely was the TPegs made it clear the objectives for the season and GMTM knew he had failed to deliver In end, with JBOT hire, I am much more comfortable with GMTM firing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted May 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 There was a day between the meeting with Murray and his firing, what if Pegulas called during that day to see if they could make an improvement. Did they really treat Murray poorly then? Also won cares Murray got millions still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
