Pretty much

With KC

The Bills are trading down

Having RJ and Bob Cole call this game

One of the greatest to broadcast games.

Absolutely, but the players who avoid the front of the net like it’s a quarantine zone will find their ice time significantly reduced

The Sharks have fired HC David Quinn. This would be a good landing spot for Donny Granato.

The first Expected Buffalo Mock Offseason is up. William Karlsson is acquired for Matt Savoie and a 2024 2nd. Tyler Toffoli is signed two years 7 million AAV Jokiharju traded to Utah for a 2nd

I have a feeling that Adams was ready to pull the plug on Granato a few times this season and Lindy was his choice for an in season replacement

It’s a 2 year deal for Ruff

I’ve heard some stuff

If it was anyone else but Lindy, it would have been two years. Lindy could easily be moved into an advisory role as Pegula trusts him. The same could not have been said about other hires

Berube and Gallant amongst a few others did have interviews with the Sabres via zoom the past few days It would not surprise me if Adams mentioned Ruff replacing Granato in season, but was rebuffed by Pegula Ellis is not guaranteed a spot behind the bench One member of the staff will be a coach in waiting as mentioned before. Appert is my guess. If it was Peca, I doubt Lavy or the Rangers would block him from moving. Ruff will spend a lot of time around the Amerks over the next few weeks getting know the prospects as well as Appert. And @Thorny if this does go south, your prediction will come true next offseason. That’s a reason why Adams hired Lindy he knows they can work together.

Beane mentioned they do not have first round grades on 28 players this year. Thursday should be interesting

The Sabres would have a pretty good idea of what he would bring to the table. He has a relationship with Jason Karmanos, Sam Ventura and Mike Bales was on His Staff. In the unlikely event the Penguins let him go he should get consideration for the Sabres HC Position

MITTS with his first SC Playoff Goal

With the talk of the team’s leadership or more importantly lack there of I really do not see how they can bring him back

This version of the Sabres has a lot more talent than Bylsma’s Sabres. Eichel and Reinhart were first and second year players during their two seasons with him. Not sure that’s the best comparison, especially since Bylsma wore out his welcome with Crosby and Malkin very rapidly.

I do wonder if another Toronto First Round Exit spells the end for Sheldon Keefe. That could start a cascade as Dubas and Keefe are close from their days with Soo Greyhounds and possibly free up Sullivan.
