New President of Hockey Operations, Presser @10:30 a.m.

[Nitro60]

Ted Nolan welcome back. Now get the most out of these guys like you did in the 90s. I feel a whole lot better with the changes made.

[TM8-PL16]

_{i'm kind of glad Nolan doesn't have a 3 yr contract or something... he knows his role and it's just to fill a hole until the pieces are in place. I'm sure if things are going well, they'll give him a shot but I like that he seems to know just to do what they want and not worry about his job future.}

_{I hope they tell him, "let the kids play and have fun, if they end up being a -3 but have 2 points or great chances and learning, then so be it. We need to see what they can do without handcuffs on"}

[Hartman]

can we kidnap Jordan Nolan too and not let him leave town?

[shrader]

I swear to God I want to go to Knox Farm and hand out candy to everyone......

 

Do you have a moustache?

[Jsixspd]

Terry should quit while he's ahead on the topic of Regier. LOL

[dudacek]

I have no idea how good Patty and Teddy will be, but good people matter, and they are good people.

[ROC Sabres]

I really wonder how many mistakes Darcy made considering Terry said you can make mistakes and that won't cost you your job.

[shrader]

I'd love to know what the plan is for GM because they need to get moving on that very soon. You can't have someone coming in cold with little to no relationship with other GM types and start to make deals.

[Jsixspd]

My only regret - something like today's house cleaning should have happened when Terry Pegula bought our team. Ahhh well...... moving forward.. LETS GO SABRES!!!!!

Good point, we still have a few elephants in the dressing room.

I wonder if the Guy in Pittsburgh will be it. He already has connections and knows folks.

Do teams typically let guys like Botterill leave mid season?

[bills_fan_in_raleigh]

I like the idea of Ted coming back to kick ass in the room. Pat will select a good GM and that GM will decide whats next

[26CornerBlitz]

Why Yes! Yes we are!

 

@RealKyper

Hey @BuffaloSabres fans.. Happy now?

I would hope Pat would have some guys in mind who have experience. Who's out there right now who isn't working?

You forgot that Pegula is a meddler, he's got the trade front down.

[Kristian]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!

 

Regier gone...!!! FINALLY!!!!

 

Opening a special bottle tonight in celebration.

 

Will LaFontaine be able to do a better job? Who knows, but if ever there was a time when change for the sake of change was good, this is it!

 

Thank you!!!!

[Stoner]

Terry and Pat hooked up? Jeebus.

[LGR4GM]

Why Yes! Yes we are!

 

@RealKyper

This sums up exactly how I feel right now... the entire thing.

[Sabres Fan in NS]

Listening closely to Pegula.

 

Man, I could not work for that guy.

[shrader]

Do teams typically let guys like Botterill leave mid season?

 

I have no idea which leagues have those rules in place that allow a guy to leave if he is getting a higher position. Even if that is in place, who knows if it is allowed in-season. The stories on those rules constantly get crossed up from league to league in the media.

YES!!!!!!

[MDFan]

Stoked about this! Can't wait until the Toronto game. I love the move with Patty and as far as Ted Nolan is concerned, he will get them competing every night - no doubt about that. I am sure the hope is that he does well enough that the new GM wants to keep him. PL obviously believes in him. I love these moves.

[MidwestSabresFan]

Terry and Pat hooked up? Jeebus.

 

He said he "popped the question" to Pat... wonder if Kim knew... :lol:

[McD]

I wish I knew the exact inner workings and dynamics that took place in the Sabres front office the past decade... just seems like they were never on the same page, and that causes major problems. Looking forward to the new staff working together to bring us a winner.
