I will happily taste the Leafs fans tears. I hate Boston too, so I want them wiped out in the 2nd round lol.

Although his salary is less, Roberto Luongos Cap hit is still in “stupid” territory ?

Because JQ is gone to FL... Here are the serious candidates so far ... Alain Vigneault Benoit Groulx Bruce Boudreau Todd Nelson Rikard Grönborg Sheldon Keefe Dale Hawerchuk Bob Boughner

Terry, Kim ... I love ya both ... but PLEASE stay out of any coach hiring/interviewing/opinion giving. Let the GM have 100% autonomy.

If JB hires a “younger” coach, then JB should have veto power over who the coach hires as his assistants. He needs to surround himself with a TON of NHL winning experience and wisdom.

Yes! And THAT to me is “total revamping” not 3-5 players. Which is something 29 teams do yearly. Again, agree to disagree.

Meh ... I don’t think it does, but agree to disagree. It’s semantics and word usage I guess.

I don’t think, and I believe JB doesn’t think a “total revamping” is necessary. Move out, and move in 3-5 players ... yes! But “total revamping” isn’t necessary IMO.

Why do you want him? Explain ...

Did Bylsma have a 5 year deal??? I thought it was only 3.

Unless someone can refute this ... Nowadays as soon as a head coach is hired, the moment he become the NHL teams head coach, he’s guaranteed his full salary, even if he gets fired ¼, ⅓, ½, ¾, thru his “contract”. So IF his contract is a three year deal for this example, then yes, Housley will get paid next season by the Sabres. Even if he gets another job. It’s guaranteed money.

100% gone. He can seek employment elsewhere ...

Why do you want them? Explain ....

Make your case for a certain coach you’d like to see hired now that Housley is gone.... Convince the naysayers and doubters why your choice or choices is the best.

Some fans were so pissed that JB wasn’t vocally, publicly, chastising Housley. Like he should air that out to the fans and telegraph his thoughts. JB handled it perfectly. Well done JB.

Same here. He’s doing a great job in Roch. Let him continue to develop and win with that team.

And ye have little faith. I knew it was going to happen before the playoffs… It was just too obvious

Yea. It’s over. Now the clock ticks ....

No, he is. First full year in the NHL. Even if he tops out as a backup. It’ll be a NHL backup. I bet he comes in next season better.

I’m surprised Sheary is getting low marks. I knew exactly what he was and he delivered exactly as advertised. He’s a 30-40 point a year winger .... did some expect much more? Is that why the low grade? Why did some expect more? Unrealistic expectations?

Been a Buffalonian my entire life. Would love to stay here after my wife and I retire in 10-12 years. But the bloated NY taxes and with a political party making things more difficult with everyday life for all NYers, we are getting the heck out of NY so our money and freedoms goes wayyyy farther. I’ll miss everything about the city. I’ll be back often enough since the rest of my family are here. But I won’t miss giving a large chunk of my money to the NY vampires. ”ALBANY - New York's population continues to decline faster than any other state, according to new data released Wednesday by the U.S. Census Bureau. The report found New York was just one of nine states to see a decrease in population, losing an estimated 48,510 residents between July 1, 2017, and July 1, 2018.” That's more than any state. https://buffalonews.com/2018/12/19/new-yorks-population-dips-over-the-past-year/

2011-2012 Tampa ... yes

Nice one Reinhart!

Harrington’s a boob...
