Tim Murray and Dan Byslma Have Been Fired

[nfreeman]

This probably means that DDB was GMTM's hire, not TP's.

just reported on local cable news, no link yet

Bylsma yes -  but Murray???  Shocking!   I don't know that Bylsma was Murray's fault - maybe it was?   Maybe Murray backed the wrong horse?  Maybe he really WAS a Dan Bylsma supporter?    

Murray had already made a lot of mistakes though....  all those toxic contracts for low performing d-players was the worst.

Oh it's going to happen. There is a big reason they were both fired. 

 

Congrats everyone, we just became the Kings

I got bored reading your post...

I tend to agree, he seemed to be moving us in the correct direction. 

 

Honestly, I had a hard time disagreeing with almost anything he said. He was refreshingly honest, direct and informative.

Yup.

[Meathead]

oh so this is why nobody posted a thread. sorry

[pastajoe]

Wonder what will happen to assistants, and Lambert in Rochester.

That's all I can think. That GMTM actually liked Dan that much and decided to go down with the ship. 

[sabills]

I'm guessing Pegula insisted DDB needed to be fire and Murray didn't like that and Tim went down with the ship.

 

I think this almost has to be it. It happened day 2 of them talking. If they wanted to fire Tim and Dan outright they could have done that yesterday.

Yep, thinking the same thing.   Murray kept defending Bylsma's inane 'system' too.

I bet Murray stays if Lombardi isn't available. What do Rex, Byslma, Lombardi and Suter have in common? Recognition

 

I got bored reading your post... 

We're basically selling our soul to win

 

If we win

Honestly, I had a hard time disagreeing with almost anything he said. He was refreshingly honest, direct and informative. 

And he drafted well and made good, solid trades

 

 

BTW, you know who loves Evander Kane, right?

God please not Lombardi

[LGR4GM]

Here is the team statement.

[SabresFanInRochester]

Wow! I am shocked! Taking the heat was admirable, but when you take the blame and criticism, sometimes it comes back to haunt you.

[CallawaySabres]

What a mess, Jesus H

[WildCard]

You know what the worst part of this is? Now that we've removed both of them, we'll never be able to definitively end the Byslma vs Roster debate :lol:

[Jsixspd]

If Murray was the chief and head of the Bylsma Fan Club, and couldn't see how bad the team was doing under Bylsma, then he needed to go.

 

Great -  2 wasted years - 3 if you include Murray.   Back to square one.  Hockey Heaven, or Hockey Hell? 

[Norcal]

I think its a mistake letting Murray go

[Miller Time]

Wow, now we need a new HC & new GM.

Go Sabres!!!

[LGR4GM]

You know what the worst part of this is? Now that we've removed both of them, we'll never be able to definitively end the Byslma vs Roster debate :lol:

I am just happy that we don't have to debate his stupid system anymore. It is dead.

Good job Pegula. You fired the wrong GM

 

What a ###### moron that guy is

OMG, you and the rest of the Crusaders get their wish and you're still moaning and groaning. 

Not 100% sure this is a good move or not but no doubt we're on to a new course, hopefully Pegs gets it right this time

[freester]

Byelsma didn't surprise me but Murray is shocking.  Giving up a first for Lehner was a mistake and giving big contracts to Moulson and Ennis was a mistake.

[Meathead]

oh wait, you guys were NOT talking about the actual firing

 

well whatever. seems big enough news for its own thread 

[Mustache of God]

Does this affect our chances with Antipin?
