Doohicksie Posted June 3, 2015 Report Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) And yes, they can always give them time on the wing to get their feet wet, but that last point still remains the same, someone needs to be out there at center. I think one of the 2nd overalls will be playing center on one of the top two lines come the fall. But if DDB wants to break them both in on the wing, he can. 1. Girgs 2. Larsson 3. Grigo 4. McCormick Maybe the top three shuffle a bit based on training camp/preseason, but if they want to shelter the new guys at wing to start, they can. By the end of November though I expect something more along the lines of 1. Eichel 2. Samson 3. Larsson 4. Grigo with Girgs playing a wing and McCormick being the depth scratch.

LTS Posted June 3, 2015 Report Posted June 3, 2015 DDB isn't Barry. And he was just hired. DDB will never have that mullet. Quote
Doohicksie Posted June 3, 2015 Report Posted June 3, 2015 DDB will never have that mullet. That mullet is looking nasty these days. Barry isn't aging gracefully. Quote
shrader Posted June 3, 2015 Report Posted June 3, 2015 I might like it in a couple years, but I just can't see any point this year where we're running 4 centers who are 22 and younger. Even if it's a Rob Niedermeyer-type, they pretty much have to add a vet or two into that group. Quote
X. Benedict Posted June 3, 2015 Report Posted June 3, 2015 DDB will never have that mullet. How about the Beetlejuice pinstripes? Quote

Brawndo Posted June 3, 2015 Report Posted June 3, 2015 @FriedgeHNIC: Bettman says any team that already gave up a draft pick to hire a coach/executive who was fired will not get it back. Still worth it Quote
qwksndmonster Posted June 4, 2015 Report Posted June 4, 2015 @FriedgeHNIC: Bettman says any team that already gave up a draft pick to hire a coach/executive who was fired will not get it back. Still worth it Really dumb that the rule ever existed in the first place. Definitely still worth it. Quote
Huckleberry Posted June 4, 2015 Report Posted June 4, 2015 Really dumb that the rule ever existed in the first place. Definitely still worth it. We had 4 2016 3rd rounders, still have 3 :p Quote
Hoss Posted June 8, 2015 Report Posted June 8, 2015 Helen St. James: Tony Granato has told the Red Wings he will not be exercising the option he has on his contract. Spent 1 year as assistant to Mike Babcock. Please come to Buffalo! Quote

beerme1 Posted June 9, 2015 Report Posted June 9, 2015 The news is not surprising but sure is interesting. There's really only one place he belongs. Right here, the growing home of USA hockey. Being Granato is an assistant, if he has aspirations of being a head coach, he'll need to win sooner than later and I know we will be miles ahead of Toronto at the start of the season. If this happens, I rate this as yet another hell ya in the building of One Buffalo. Really impressive what the hell is going on. Viva El Pegual Quote
Brawndo Posted June 14, 2015 Report Posted June 14, 2015 Granato staying put in Detroit as per Damien Cox. Talked with Toronto and Buffalo. Quote
LGR4GM Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 Wasn't sure if this necessitated its own thread. The Sabres hired two new player development coaches. Adam Mair and Krys Barch. http://www.wgr550.com/Sabres-add-two-to-the-coaching-staff/21646471 Quote

Weave Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 Finally, some fighting coaches. And they don't even get that right. Mair was a very game punching bag. I suppose those that can't do, teach. :P Quote
Doohicksie Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 And they don't even get that right. Mair was a very game punching bag. I had the same thought. Quote
Huckleberry Posted June 18, 2015 Report Posted June 18, 2015 They won't be behind the bench i take it ? Quote
Doohicksie Posted June 18, 2015 Report Posted June 18, 2015 They won't be behind the bench i take it ? They will when we play the Bruins. :devil: Quote
That Aud Smell Posted June 18, 2015 Report Posted June 18, 2015 Bylsma says Terry Murray & Dave Barr will be joining #Sabres coaching staff. (that's per a Tweet from the team.) Quote
That Aud Smell Posted June 18, 2015 Report Posted June 18, 2015 As for Barr (from his Wiki page): He was the General Manager and then General Manager/Head Coach of the Guelph Storm of the OHL from 2003–08, where his team won the OHL Championship in 2003–04 and Barr collected the Matt Leyden Trophy, emblematic of the league's Coach of the Year, in 2005–06.[5]Barr was also named as the head coach of Canada's National Men's Summer Under-18 Team for the Under-18 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament from August 14–18, 2007, in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Barr left the OHL to become an assistant coach for the Colorado Avalanche of the NHL during the 2008–09 NHL season, but following a disappointing year in which they finished last overall in the NHL's Western Conference, the Avalanche cleaned house and fired their entire coaching staff. On July 3, 2009 the Minnesota Wild hired Dave Barr as an assistant coach. Barr was dismissed, along with head coach Todd Richards, by the Wild on April 11, 2011 in a Minnesota coaching staff restructuring. On July 29, 2011, Barr was named assistant coach of the New Jersey Devils, joining new coach Peter DeBoer on the staff.[6] Barr was subsequently dismissed, along with head coach Peter DeBoer, by the Devils on December 27, 2014 in a New Jersey coaching staff restructuring.

dudacek Posted June 18, 2015 Report Posted June 18, 2015 Interesting choices. A vet who has done and seen it all in Murray. Barr is another guy who has been around. One forward, one defence man. Quote
