Dreger just confirmed it will be announced today. Somebody link the tweet? I'm a noob.

Lol Buffalo sports media. Scooped by Kiss FM and Canada, as is tradition.

I'm so excite

 

[Reddawg]

Excellent news...I'm very excited to see the new direction he takes the team in.

Its happening!

 

[SabresFan26]

This is who I wanted the last time around and that was years ago. He's only gained more experience and had more success since. I like the hire.

Can't wait to hear the presser. Don't really have much information on the guy outside of resume bullet points.

Also, go after an up-tempo coach please. For reference, see pittsburgh's game last night. 3 forcheckers in the deep 3rd. I was rooting for Washington, but pit was so damn impressive in aggressively closing out that game.

He'll certainly have the opportunity to hit the ground running, with the coaching vacancy, the draft, the expansion draft, and then free agency in the next 7 weeks. Good luck Botts!

Would have been happy with Botterill last time. Don't know if he'll be successful or not but he seems to have a lot of the characteristics that I would like a GM to have. I don't buy into a "Pittsburgh Model" but I do buy into consistent success and that organization has had it and he's been a part of it.

 

[Sabre Dance]

Nice hire. Now on to the coach.
