DirtDart Posted April 21, 2017 Report Posted April 21, 2017 I would take botts as GM, and Ruff as an advisor. Coach? No idea.
sabills Posted April 21, 2017 Report Posted April 21, 2017 I think I'm hoping that Calgary is dumb enough to let Treliving walk and we can get him. He's turned Calgary around pretty quickly, and he's well liked up there.
sabills Posted April 21, 2017 Report Posted April 21, 2017 I have a feeling I might not have that long: Mark SpectorVerified account @SportsnetSpec Follow More Hearing former Kings GM Dean Lombardi interviewed in Buffalo yesterday. More candidates scheduled for this week/weekend.
LGR4GM Posted April 21, 2017 Report Posted April 21, 2017 As long as Sutter does not come with I think I can live with this, for the next 3 years until he gets fired.

More candidates scheduled for this week/weekend. I'd expect he'd bring in Bill O'Reilly to be the new TV host.
Eleven Posted April 21, 2017 Report Posted April 21, 2017 My top requirement for a new general manager: Initials that combine with "GM" to form a cool acronym. LGR4?
LGR4GM Posted April 21, 2017 Report Posted April 21, 2017 LGR4? I mean, I would but I somehow feel that I am not qualified.
Eleven Posted April 21, 2017 Report Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) I mean, I would but I somehow feel that I am not qualified. KTN4? Oh wait, same guy. Edited April 21, 2017 by Eleven
WildCard Posted April 21, 2017 Author Report Posted April 21, 2017 @SabresBuzz Next Sabres GM will add veterans who have won Cups. Lombardi can add Muzzin, Martinez, Trevor Lewis, who played with Eichel at Worlds
Miller Time Posted April 21, 2017 Report Posted April 21, 2017 Definitely ready for Lombardi but would like to see Dan Quinn behind the bench. Let's Go Buffalo!!!
LGR4GM Posted April 21, 2017 Report Posted April 21, 2017 I hope they find someone qualified, I really do but I just don't have faith.
sabills Posted April 21, 2017 Report Posted April 21, 2017 I think, like someone upthread said, I could live with Lombardi as long as he hires a coach thats not "old school" coach. However, I'm pretty sure we're going to get the hockey version of Sean McDermott.

WildCard Posted April 21, 2017 Author Report Posted April 21, 2017 Who fits this bill of experienced, proven, and a character guy? I still think it's Lombardi, even with the Voynov fiasco. If he's ruled out because of that, that rules out anyone from Chicago too

If he's ruled out because of that, that rules out anyone from Chicago too Why? The sexual assault allegations against Kane that resulted in no charges because of an evidence bag hoax? Voynov was charged with a felony, going to be deported, and Lombardi let him practice with the team while suspended by the league. The situations aren't even remotely comparable.

sabills Posted April 21, 2017 Report Posted April 21, 2017 Who is the hockey version of McDermott? I don't know, just like I didn't know who the hell McDermott was until...hell I still don't know who he is. But loose characteristics: "Tough" coach Defensive minded "Blue collar" Not flashy or brash, just "gets the job done" So, you know, Sutter probably.
dudacek Posted April 21, 2017 Report Posted April 21, 2017 Sutter has too much Tim Murray personality.

Kane's been in a lot more trouble than that, if not entirely legally wise.
Sabres Fan in NS Posted April 21, 2017 Report Posted April 21, 2017 Who is the hockey version of McDermott? In another thread 11 (I think it was 11) said ... Keenan. BOOM!!
TrueBlueGED Posted April 21, 2017 Report Posted April 21, 2017 Kane's been in a lot more trouble than that, if not entirely legally wise. Some murmurs and whispers (of which, personally, I believe there is at least some truth), but nothing substantial has come of any of it.
Brawndo Posted April 21, 2017 Report Posted April 21, 2017 Per John Shannon Brief discussion with Luc Robittaille today. Sabres have not asked permission yet to talk to Dean Lombardi.
Eleven Posted April 21, 2017 Report Posted April 21, 2017 In another thread 11 (I think it was 11) said ... Keenan. BOOM!! It was me and he is. And I don't want him here.

I mean, there's videos of him hammered basically calling a girl a 'Jew' and then tons of witnesses of him basically assaulting her What did Voynov do anyway? Per John Shannon Brief discussion with Luc Robittaille today. Sabres have not asked permission yet to talk to Dean Lombardi. Good In another thread 11 (I think it was 11) said ... Keenan. BOOM!! Who?
Sabres Fan in NS Posted April 21, 2017 Report Posted April 21, 2017 Kill me in the most painful way possible. Please. Stop the presses ... incoming scoop ... THE SABRES HAVE JUST ANNOUNCED THE HIRING OF MIKE KEENAN AS ... Been nice knowing you. Can I have your elbow patched sweaters before the estate sale ... :death:
