Who will be the next Head Coach of the Buffalo Sabres?
Who will be the next coach of the Buffalo Sabres? How extensive will the coaching search be?
The obvious candidates are no NHL experience Seth Appert and Sabres re-tread Lindy Ruff. Are there any other serious contenders? Will TP spend on Brind’amour or someone else of that quality? During TP’s ownership we have hired re-tread with a Cup (Bylsma), NHL Rookie coaches (Housley, Granato) and one semi-experienced coach from left field (Krueger). So what’s next?
Just read Fariburn's rundown of the candidates and walked away almost certain it's going to be Lindy.
Adams had a plan in place and 4 watchwords: experienced, structured, accountable, immediately available.
Of the candidates he listed: Woodcraft and Evason aren't that experienced, Boudreau and Gallant aren't that structured, Brind'Amour and Quenville (probably, for well-known reasons) aren't immediately available.
That leaves Ruff and Berube.
I don't know of any connection be
