Man i know it will never happen , he would probably never come here but that would be a HC I would love to get here.

Also it's crazy to think, the Stars just fired a HC who made the Stanley Cup playoff finals 3 years in a row and we continue to let our GM who hasn't made it to a single playoff apopearance get a 6th season, it's crazy to think about that but easy to wonder why we haven't made the playoffs in 15 seasons.

He's a Dunnville boy. He'd sign here for sure.

Get 'im @Weave's #.  He'll show 'im all the good fishin' spots.  (Not the best ones; gotta keep careful watch on those, but he'll share the good ones.)  😉

The Sabres could've attempted to hire Montgomery when the Bruins let him go. Nah. They aren't going to hire DeBoer. If GMKA is still in power next year, it's the Appert show. Only Pegula could overrule him, and the only coaches Pegula knows are ex-Sabres coaches.

Here's a quote from DeBoer...

I can't think of a lake in Ontario that has Walleye and Salmon. I know there's the odd Salmon in Erie, but I've never heard of a salmon "run" there. That said, Lake Erie / the Grand River (in Dunnville) would probably be the best choice out of any lake in Ontario that I can think of that is known for Walleye, but still has "some" salmon.

DeBoer should come to Buffalo. He can get to Dunnville in about an hour.

Obligatory

It would never happen, but the Sabres are more-well-positioned to make such a move than most other teams.  Adams and Ruff are in the final years of their contracts. There have been rumors, or at least speculation, that both could move into other roles (Adams to POHO, Ruff to an advisory role).  A veteran GM, Kekalainan, was recently hired as a Senior Advisor. Heck, you could make an argument that, looking ahead to the future, Adams, Ruff, and Kekalainan, would just be doing their jobs if they put there heads together and concluded that the Sabre organization would be foolish to not take a run at DeBoer. Together they could recommend speeding up the transition of Adams to POHO, Ruff to Senior Advisor, Kekalainan to GM, and hiring DeBoer as head coach. Requires someone with a vision though.
