Felt just the opposite, I don't think there's any chance he waits around for Rod to figure out whats going on in CAR, potentially missing out on other options. I think he has his guy and its not RBM.

Oh, I was wondering if there was any smoke coming out of Carolina. I'd be absolutely ecstatic with the hire.

I like Berube and Ruff. I have read some things that have made me question Gallant, Quinnville just seems too messy and a distraction. Hard to like Budreau since he lost in the playoffs with really good teams.

Berube feels like a fit for all departments. Lindy does too, obviously. I’m an unabashed Boudreau fan but I don’t think it’s what they’re looking for. Which is fine. I think they’d obviously love a crack at Brind’Amour…but without some back room guarantees I don’t see them waiting to find out.

What is the feedback/talk from STL about how Berube’s time there ended? Anything in-depth that would sway my mind one way or another…?

What I like about Ruff is he can get the most out of defensemen. I think he is the guy to unlock Power and Byram and take Dahlin to another level. He definitely can get this team to the playoffs imo. The only box he doesn't check for me is he hasn't won a cup. I feel like unlocking this teams defense and having a pressure system is exactly what this team needs. This is a speed, skilled team that needs the defense to step up.
Lindy to me is that guy.

Jay! Throw your hat into this ring friend.
Hamilton only played 20 games too. Combine that with losing 2 experienced d-men last year, their defense was pretty bad as well.
And it does really sound like they have someone already in mind and are going to try to move fast.
Even the Sabres media staff are sharing that Adams wants an experienced coach.
I wonder if he has already had discussions with guys.

It’s gonna be Lindy. James Patrick coming back next to him makes sense too.
Berube is the only other one that really checks the boxes to me.

Don't know much about coaches but Berube doesn't feel great. He fits the profile of who we'd want but I just don't love it for this particular roster.
The more you look around at the options, the better a Ruff/Patrick tandem feels right. Then again, there could be a ton of options no one has mentioned that would be even better.

I agree with most others. I think Berube and Ruff are my two best guesses from what Kevyn Adams said he’s looking for at his press conference. Maybe Boudreau, though probably not. I’d say maybe Brind’amor but with what Adams said about moving quickly if everything works out, that makes me think probably not him or any other coach in the playoffs.
I don’t know that Gallant really fits what Adams mentioned he wants.
I am just glad that we can actually discuss hiring one of these veteran head coach candidates and know it’s actually a realistic possibility!

Obviously not a popular opinion given all the posts so far, but I do not think Berube can take this group to the next level. For him to be successful, I think Adams would have to significantly rebuild this roster, which is unrealistic imo.
I feel like posters want Berube because he is the polar opposite of Granato, and are looking for that tough to play for task-master, but I believe this team needs a coach who is smarter in the Xs and Os department than Craig Berube.
This team needs a coach that teaches them how to play together, not just harder.

Yeah, I’d be a little concerned about the posters saying he’s not a great X’s and O’s “Install a system” guy. You’d have to surround him with the right assistants.
