Tim Murray and Dan Byslma Have Been Fired

[Claude Balls]

Can Jack captain, coach and GM the team?

 

Peters mentioned Drury and Briere which are interesting names to throw in the mix.

clearly one does not fire both of them without something and someone in mind for the job...there is no way it will be anybody without big experience already whoever that may be

He still has a voice, and if you can't make money running an NFL team, you are a complete moron.

 

Fire Brandon and let's get someone in here with a winning and hockey and football pedigree for both franchises.

 

I will be deeply dismayed if TP announces that RB will have a big role in helping find the next GM/President of Hockey operations.

What about the coach from Denver University. Seems like he always been known for producing some talent. Plus we could have the inside track on Will Butcher.

He makes money marketing 2 of the worst franchises in sports. He's better at his job than any coach or gm either team has ever had.

How do you not make money as an NFL franchise? Not hard to do

[LGR4GM]

Very nice.

 

 

This is a good point, and one that TP probably took into consideration -- i.e. why is the cupboard bare?

The cupboard isn't bare, it is shallow. We need another 2 years of drafts to fully restock and get guys into the the system (out of juniors and into Amerk/Sabres)

I may never watch again if RB has anything to do with the next phase of the Sabres new hires.

makes no sense to fire GMTM then bring in someone with little or no experience at the NHL level. they have to hire people with a ton of job experience which I guess leaves us the LA duo

Utterly amazing.  Well done.

[Mustache of God]

Just like those other ideas

 

That's what I was poking at. I will literally flip a table in a public space if the Pegulas bring in someone whose been with the organization for some nostalgia factor. The Sabres have never won anything, there's nothing to actually be nostalgic about. I also don't want dinosaurs coming in who've done it all before with other teams. I want someone fresh and hungry and motivated. Give someone a 1-year deal to prove something. I'm sick of seeing these cushy contracts be signed, it makes people too comfortable. You get the contract when you get the results.

Not true. Tons of assistant GM's and Coaches around that have experience. 

[Doohicksie]

So I just got online; had some stuff going on this morning.  Pretty amazing news.

 

This isn't how I saw it playing out at all.

 

Let's see what (who) happens next.

few if any potential GMs will sign a 1 year deal.......

[sabills]

I'd bet we have a new GM within what, I week? Gotta move fast here, a lot of decisions to make, and soon.

[StuckinFL]

This brings an interesting thought. What if Babcock was on board to come here but Murray's philosophy on how the game should be played and the team he wanted to assemble just rubbed him the wrong way and that was the biggest reason to go to Toronto?

[Sabre fan]

oh there's others for sure but I fear the LA duo may be hired even though I am not in favor for sure

[Crusader1969]

Trading away Pysyck and Brayden Mcnabb were bad moves that cost us young talent of defense

 

WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!! if you think McNabb is a talented Dman you arent paying attention!

Oooooooo

[Derrico]

This is what Bucky said:

 

I'm told Pegulas were looking for answers on how to proceed, and Murray didnt have many, or any. Bylsma was collateral damage swept w/GMTM

He's "told" by whom?  He's not a reporter.

Andrew Peters just repeated exactly what I just posted,  I trust his opinion more than yours

[TrueBlueGED]

On the bright side, at least I won't have to hear anyone speculate that maybe the well has dried up, and the Pegulas are tightening the purse strings. That sort of speculation should be dead, and stay dead.

McNabb is a below average dman that LA fans want run out of town.  Of course, DLo and Faeshing are also below average players.
