spndnchz Posted June 7, 2011 Report Posted June 7, 2011 multiple weiner posts in multiple threads...weiner-envy? I don't know how u guys walk around with those. No envy here.
korab rules Posted June 7, 2011 Report Posted June 7, 2011 Didn't know he had one. Maybe its just an enlarged ######. I don't know how u guys walk around with those. No envy here. W/E. You girls all know you wish you had one. Just like guys all wish we had a box. Spend the first 9 months trying to get out and the rest of our lives trying to get back in.
LGR4GM Posted June 13, 2011 Report Posted June 13, 2011 Winnipeg to Interview Ramsay So to summarize the article: "Ramsay, contacted on Sunday by the Winnipeg organization, has also agreed to an interview as part of the process. Although Winnipeg is considering other options, Ramsay has not been terminated." Just thought it was a good update for this topic. Winnipeg is certainly doing some good work straightening out their front office and coaching department before they do anything else. I think letting Ramsay go would be a mistake for them but if that means buffalo gets him :thumbsup:
Doohicksie Posted June 13, 2011 Report Posted June 13, 2011 Just a headband? He was cutting edge. Would we have iconic 80's headbands such as Olivia Newton-John's Physical, Ralph Macchio's Karate Kid or Sylvestor Stallone's Rambo if not for Rick Dudley? Don't forget LeBron!
Tom Backyard Posted June 21, 2011 Report Posted June 21, 2011 The axe has fallen. Ramsay will not be the coach of the Winnipeg Winnipegs. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=369529
Warriorspikes51 Posted June 21, 2011 Report Posted June 21, 2011 I'd like to see him as Ruff's assistant and Dudley can be given a front office position.....maybe head of scouting?
Lanny Posted June 21, 2011 Report Posted June 21, 2011 Kevin Devine has been Director of Amateur Scouting for the past 4 years, overseeing what appear to be some pretty decent drafts. Not sure I'd want to dump him.

SabresFan526 Posted June 21, 2011 Report Posted June 21, 2011 Kevin Devine has been Director of Amateur Scouting for the past 4 years, overseeing what appear to be some pretty decent drafts. Not sure I'd want to dump him. Agree on Kevin Devine. He's led some great drafts, with virtually no scouting resources, led the digital scouting revolution, and with the help of TPegs introduced the first Buffalo Sabres combine, which was a long time coming. No reason to dump him. I am not sure what the level of pro scouting has been for Buffalo beyond simply Darcy. This is where I think Dudley could help immediately. I think it would be interesting for the Sabres to grow the team not just through amateur scouting, but also better pro scouting. What does pro scouting mean? It's not just watch the other NHL teams and figure out who you can sign and/or trade for. To me pro scouting includes finding complete diamonds in the rough who are playing at the AHL or ECHL level that work incredibly hard and have talent that could make them stick in the NHL if they got a legitimate shot (think Tim Thomas and Marty St. Louis). Pro Scouting to me includes scouting professional leagues across the world like in Sweden, Finland, Czech Republic, KHL, etc. to see if there are undrafted gold mines that are stars in those leagues that you could bring over with a free agent contract. This type of scouting is lacking for the Buffalo Sabres and something many other teams in the NHL have, specifically the Detroit Red Wings are extremely good at. I could see Dudley playing a pivotal role for the Sabres in that regard. I'd still love to have Craig Ramsey as he's been a decent special teams coach in past stops in his career.

I would love to see Dudley as Director of Pro Scouting. Devine as Amateur. Craig Ramsey is a solid hockey mind. Personally, I think he shaped the Boston Bruins as much as Claude Julien. I also thought he did a very good job in Atlanta with a limited roster.
SabresFan526 Posted June 21, 2011 Report Posted June 21, 2011 Well, it looks Craig Ramsey will not be retained by the Winnipeg Winnipegs according to TSN: Link Here Well, it looks like a Special Teams coach and ex-Buffalo Sabre might be available just like another ex-Buffalo Sabres, Lewiston native and former GM.

The Sabres were right I think to focus on North America for the past few years. But the time is right to pick up tough, hard working players in Europe - especially the ones in professional leagues. Just need to find the guys who are committed to hockey and are ready to head across the pond. And as others have said - Kevin Devine has been doing an excellent job. The Sabres need to make sure that he stays committed to Buffalo - wouldn't want to lose him to Pittsburgh.
X. Benedict Posted June 21, 2011 Report Posted June 21, 2011 There is such a thing as "too many chefs." Just sayin' PTR One thing is clear...they have yet to replace McCutcheon.

Which I think means less risk.
spndnchz Posted June 21, 2011 Report Posted June 21, 2011 One thing is clear...they have yet to replace McCutcheon. Totally forgot about that. Maybe they wanted to give Ramsay the chance at a head coach job first?

cdexchange Posted June 22, 2011 Report Posted June 22, 2011 Good luck, I haven't even seen him lurking around the playground lately :-/ Somebody better check his uncle's basement.
Jeanbe Posted June 24, 2011 Report Posted June 24, 2011 Dudley has been added to the Leafs front office per Fan590 out of TO.
