There is no realistic player transaction that the Sabres could make this off-season, that would have a more immediate impact than replacing Ruff with DeBoer. 

Given how much better old man Reimer was vs UPL, I could see a goalie transaction doing more for this team vs a coaching change.

Need significant improvements in both areas for the other changes to have a legit shot at being enough to get them where they need to be.

So apparently you are allowed to fire assistant coaches in the league. Interesting.😁

Not if you're a rudderless franchise whose reason for existence is to win a Stanley Cup be EEE and the coaches are all already under contract.
