Omfg, this is never going to end. Fans will see a name and get perpetual fan boners regardless of if the guy is good or not. Mike Weber for assistant head coach!

They're absolutely no reason for Peca to leave the Rangers if he's under contract. None, let alone he couldn't.

I like Ruff too but this was not and is not "well done" They didn't even do a real search.

Same

Some did, most don't. And even if they did, who cares? Isn't the point to hire the best person?

No this is what the owner wants cuz because he's a nostalgia fruit. That and it's a pr move to sell season tickets.

When you boil that off you get a coach who's only made the playoffs in 3 of what 8 years? Never passed round what? 2, 1?

Must be nice. I'm depressed over the easy lazy hire.

What's his win% since leaving?

Why?

The bar in Buffalo is so low its pathetic

What's his record since leaving Buffalo?

... they did not.

Thanks for the years and the goals. If the Sabres want to take the next step, olofsson can't be on this roster.

I argued for this all year. Play the puck from low and behind the net.

I mean, I love Ladd McConkey so I have no issue with this. There's about 3 guys in this window I am good with. McConkey is the safest probably.

Samuels is a slot receiver and McConkey is not. And I don't mean, he sorta isn't, I mean flat out McConkey was not used much at all in the slot. At Georgia there simply is never a reason too. James Cook took those snaps, Bowers takes those snaps, other less talented WR take those snaps (Lovett). Ladd was primarily used on the outside, I think I saw something like 76% of his routes were outside routes. That all said, I would trade up for Brian Thomas Jr. because while McConkey has great speed and hands, I think Thomas has very good speed and hands but also has that extra height and weight. You are trading McConkey's YAC and excellent route running for Thomas Jr size/speed combo. Indianapolis would be a great trade up target.

I lot of us tried to point out why it was a giant red flag but a vocal minority yelled about how the stick salute didn't matter. It was a red flag, this team doesn't get it.

If Buffalo had made the playoffs, they'd have gotten boat raced. There's a league of differences and an offseason of self reflection and script reading ain't getting the Sabres jack *****.
