True. Tangentially related but meanwhile Zegras had 21pts in 17gp last year, his first in the AHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Granato was a part of the solution, not the problem. I suspect part of the reason KA was able to convince the Pegulas to let Krueger go is that KA was able to explain the dressing room dynamic to them due to intel he got from Granato. I have no evidence other than Granato being named interim HC, but it just seems to follow naturally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinn, 1 0A, any other high picks this draft, JJ, UPL. They should all develop in lower leagues. The key though is what the Sabres have failed miserably at: signing one year deals with NHL players that can come in and actually positively contribute as short term solutions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where analytics really would help: who is unheralded but does a lot of good stuff on the ice. Not Frolik. Not Eakin. Other teams manage to not be embarrassingly bad at the bottom of the roster. Why can't we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Frolik and Eakin were Krueger specials, no analytics were involved in those choices. Hopefully they find a couple guys who are hard to play against and can impact the game positively for the bottom 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So.... the next captain, eh? Actually, it would be kind of ironic if the one player that doomed the Sabres season last year was Girgs, and with his return the Sabres are a solid playoff team even without Eich 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 6/16/2021 at 6:47 PM, Thorny said: I think this makes sense. They won't want the negative PR being one of the first things in the new coach's tenure. It'll also give them an opportunity to create a new headline. Coaching hire coming tomorrow? Eichel trade today? 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashsabre Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 (edited) Wow, Friedman saying Tocchet is out as Seattle coach after 3rd interview. Wonder what went wrong. They were also interviewing Quinn so maybe he got it. Friedman also mentioned Sacco and Tony Granato as options.
