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

[Nitro60]

Guys like Stafford are in for a rude awakening. Ted does not like slackers and guys who don't play sound defense in your own end. The young guys will finally get the direction they need to grow into good pros.

Ro-Yal Blue!

So much for Terry wanting this organization to make mistakes...

 

We are now the Oilers, we fire our management and bring in alumni to run it. I'm intrigued what a new gm will do. I hope Devine goes, he has as much to do with running the franchise as DR.

 

The times I saw Nolan coach, I was not impressed

 

I like the idea of Pat being involved. Is there any decent GM out there? Any European ones like the Finish guy for CBJ?

[papazoid]

is ted black in or out ?

 

if in, is he over or under patty ?

[PASabreFan]

Listening closely to Pegula.

 

Man, I could not work for that guy.

 

His insistence that everybody holds hands and works together scares me.

Completely separate departments.

OMG I love LaFontaine... "I currently don't have the experience in the General Manager job"

The first thing I want from my new hockey coach is to cry and then talk about crying... said no one ever.

[PASabreFan]

Man, I think it's going to be very tough to give this town Nolan and then take him away — again.

[darksabre]

We're going to get one thing from this new front office: honesty.

[Hoss]

Completely separate departments.

 

Thank you. It's only confusing for some because we never had this position before while most teams did.

[darksabre]

The first thing I want from my new hockey coach is to cry and then talk about crying... said no one ever.

 

It's endearing. We finally get some emotion.

[Hoss]

Man, I think it's going to be very tough to give this town Nolan and then take him away — again.

 

Unless he already understands that it's temporary.

[PASabreFan]

"Cross-pollination" of responsibilities said Terry. Pat will be part-GM.

[darksabre]

You have a very good point.

[shrader]

And how long until they overhaul the Amerks coaching staff as well? Cassidy was a Rolston guy.

[bills_fan_in_raleigh]

it will be nice to see a team that works hard again and plays above its talent level

[plenzmd1]

Patty Kaleta back on the Thruway right now?

I think that is to be expected. Whoever Pat hires as GM will not be doing whatever he wants.

[26CornerBlitz]

Wonder what they'll decide on Baby Z?

[SabresBillsFan]

I think Devine and the scouts have done a good job. I like the hiring of Ted Nolan.

[Claude_Verret]

If nothing else Patty will provide instant help with recruitment should they decide to once again include free agency as part of the revamped #blueprint.

This could be the best thing to happen to the organization since terry bought the team.

 

Let's go sabres!

[bills_fan_in_raleigh]

I think new GM will decide all of this and Pat will work to rebuild the entire hockey side

[Sabres Fan in NS]

His insistence that everybody holds hands and works together scares me.

 

Not what I meant.
