So this probably should be where we put all of it going forward. The Granato thread is closed.
Agree on the 1st 2, not so sure about Bruce.Berube or Ruff.
Boudreau I think may also be under consideration.
Well, I think Boudreau is not so bad, although not the first option. He has extensive experience building teams and playing in the playoffs and one unsuccessful season in a not very stable team with certain problems that not everyone pays attention to, because of one season I would not give up on him.Agree on the 1st 2, not so sure about Bruce.
He seems ready to make the move quickly, so that likely takes out waiting around on the RBA scenario.
So LindyI think I’ve been asking for the same guy for a decade. Someone that has made the playoffs with multiple teams. Preferably someone who’s taken a team from not making the playoffs to making the playoffs the next year.
Lindy definitely fits.So Lindy
Sounds like it's going to be Lindy and like most others I'm fine with it. I wouldn't say it's IDEAL but he kinda checks every box you'd be looking for.
Does Adam’s head to the bench as well?So if they bring in Ruff, does Patrick return to an NHL bench as an assistant since he has so much experience with some of their youth?
It would be a massive upgrade though tooSo if they bring in Ruff, does Patrick return to an NHL bench as an assistant since he has so much experience with some of their youth?

Why would he or the organization ever part ways, though? RBM is an excellent coach. I see no reason why he'd abandon his old team to coach the Sabres.So it's either Ruff
Or.. RBM ..
The way Kevyn was so direct in how he knew what he wanted and he wanted someone that pushed the players.
I know it's a pipe dream but when he was answering those questions it just sounded like he was talking about ugly
This is where I am at as well.I agree with the general sentiment that it's going to be Ruff. And that's fine. I do think it would have been nice to have a guy like Boudreau answering post game pressers after a bad loss and compare his response to Granato. I just want a guy who will call a spade a spade and hold guys accountable.
Wonder why they regressed this year then?Ruff's Jersey team played fast and pressured all over the ice in the system he implemented. I think not only could we run that system... we may be able to do it BETTER
Pay? Friction within organization? Who knows.Why would he or the organization ever part ways, though? RBM is an excellent coach. I see no reason why he'd abandon his old team to coach the Sabres.
Goaltending was AWFUL. Worse than ours awful. And Hughes was injured most of the seasonThis is where I am at as well.
