Rochester Americans and Jacksonville Icemen Off-season Thread.

I am expecting the same for Peca.

Peca graduating from buses to planes too.

Nobody else wants to work for Laviollete!

 

[Jacob582]

I wonder if Nathan Paetsch is looking for a promotion?

As in going back to riding the busses or being able to have a stable home life and sleep in his own home, managing his own business most of the time?

Browsing the transactions and this was a name from the past -

Also, nice seeing the Amerks social media acknowledgements of the various players.

Good for him…crap for Roch.

 

[Zman5778]

Here's an idea: Tell Appert he gets Christie and *pick a random assistant from Buffalo*...........and make DG hire better ones for the Sabres.

 

[WeDislikeEich]

Damn, Rochester’s coaching staff is getting raided this offseason.

 

[billsandsabres]

adam mair is still local, wonder if he is a possibility for rochester.

 

[Fjordy]

Wtf

Rightfully so, unfortunately for us.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Appert right now:

 

[Bendium]

I am not impressed with the Sabres assistant coaches, especially on the special teams and defensive sides. I was very much hoping they would make a change or two and that we might see Peca in Buffalo coaching the PK and forwards defensive game.

Feels like a miss by the organization here.

Exact same thought process. Wanted Peca to be promoted and our assistants need a change up.

 

[Chainshot]

I wouldn't have minded either of Peca or Weber based on their body of work this year getting a promotion. The Achilles heel of the current staff seems like the adherence to a bunch of guys who were either handy (Ellis, Bales) and guys who go back to Granato's playing and early coaching days (Wilford, Christie).

And it also means they need to find some new blood for the Amerk staff. With only 2 weeks to dev camp, I'm curious who that might be or if they wait into the summer to fill the spots.

I wonder if they look at the NTDP staff past and present for options given that Adams wants Roch to be a pro version of the NTDP?

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Appert right now:

I will admit that when I saw this episode when it aired that I had no idea the show was over, and just figured it was a story line. I was so confused when it didn’t air that fall.

I’m clearly a genius.

That beats my first thought - taking on any recycled former Sabres players who want to coach in the WNY area. That is not an impressive pool to draw from IMO.

So collect all the Nightingales as current or former employees.

I'm figuring they bump someone like Mair up and then pick another random former player like Paetsch or Jacob's idea about Bartkowski. *shrug*

 

[Dingo44]

Not one question at the presser about the assistants in Rochester or Cincy's replacement. Oh well.

Since Mair went from Amerks Asst Coach to Dir of Player Development, I would wonder if he wants to go back to that role.

You also have all the AoH coaches to pick from, as well...
