spndnchz Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Hower said he sent a text to the current assistants to set up a time to speak with them. He said he wasn't going to "interview" them but talk to them. Bob Corkum anyone? Who'd be your choice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASabresIUFAN Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Depending on how the talks go, I'd love to see both the goaltending coach and PP coach return. I think they both have done an excellent job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuckinFL Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I actually think I'd like to see Ruff in either an assistant coach position or working in Rochester as an assistant GM. Could just be nostalgia, but I think he's still got alot of tread on his tires for this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brawndo Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Botterill mentioned they have permission to seek other jobs. Out of all of them Andrew Allen and Bob Woods should be kept, particularly Allen. Dreger mentioned Jack Capuano yesterday, someone with his experience would be beneficial, but he will have options. I actually think I'd like to see Ruff in either an assistant coach position or working in Rochester as an assistant GM. Could just be nostalgia, but I think he's still got alot of tread on his tires for this team. Ruff can still coach, but placing the longest tenured HC in Sabres History on Housley's Staff is not a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabills Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Bob Woods!!! Only guy I really care about the Sabres retaining. Yes. Especially after that stuff about Housley's issues with the PP in Nashville, keep Bob and let him keep running the best PP in the league.

TrueBlueGED Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Bob Woods!!! Only guy I really care about the Sabres retaining. I would like this, but in the interest of discussion: given how F'd up the locker room was, is there some value in a totally clean break? I don't feel strongly one way or the other, I just know I don't want any lingering stink from the last two years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlueGED Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Rip out of spite issues number 6 to every rookie at camp. Presumably his reasoning would be that Housely hasn't been an NHL head coach yet, therefore doesn't deserve to get to run the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tondas Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I would like this, but in the interest of discussion: given how F'd up the locker room was, is there some value in a totally clean break? I don't feel strongly one way or the other, I just know I don't want any lingering stink from the last two years! Agree 100%. I do believe Bob Woods is a good coach but a clean break is needed. I'd hope for an experienced ex head coach to give good counsel to Housley (maybe McLean, ran an up tempo attack in OTT). For a goalie coach, find a good Swedish coach since both Sabres tenders are Swedish. No communication barriers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
