Sullivan and Brind’Amour are the two I had in mind, there may be others. I think either is unlikely, but I doubt we see a Sabres announcement prior to Rod officially telling them no. I think they like Sullivan a lot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every day that passes without him signing increases the likelihood that he entertains other offers. I would go so far as to say that it's at least 50/50 that he's already reached that point.

He's been speculated about for years. I dont know to be honest, since when did a NHL org hire a head coach with 0 nhl experiance? i think that is why. There are really good coaches out there in the hockey world, some org need to take the first step i guess.

Flashsabre Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Some interesting updates. The coaches from the WCs are probably Gallant and Nate Leaman, maybe Andre Tourigny as well. From the NHL they are probably hoping for Brind’Amour but Lane Lambert at the Isles would be a candidate too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FogBat Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 On 6/6/2021 at 5:07 AM, Kristian said: Not that I disagree, but to be entirely fair to perhaps myself and other posters, do you honestly think the team has shown anything to warrant optimism, these past years? Not trying to pick a fight, an honest question. I guess my point is, until the team shows some reason for optimism, we can’t hardly blame people for being the opposite? This has been a nightmare skid for years. I hear ya. It's easy to get in and stay in that nadir mindset. But, given this season's results, we have nowhere else to go but up. So, I'm not looking to fight either. I'm not as much of a pest as I was in the past, but I still like to think outside of the box. As for my snarky remark about hiring a coach who will eventually get fired, I got that idea from Bum Phillips. He once said that there are two types of coaches: ones that have been fired, and ones that will eventually get fired. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell at this point, I’d settle for someone without Premier League experience. I won’t pretend I have a clue as to which type of coach this team needs, but personally I’m at the point where I cringe everytime I hear the word “system”. But maybe that’s just me… Edited June 8, 2021 by Kristian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Isles don’t get to decide whether Lambert takes another job or not. Unless Lambert has a very unusual contract for an NHL assistant coach.
