Given that Bylsma hasn't worked his way back to a HC job I'm not gonna say he was a good coach, but he was definitely the least worst.

I honestly didn’t realize he was on the bench as an assistant in Detroit. Probably not going to catch many fish coaching that squad.

Talk about a team I wouldn't want to be a fan of. I'll take the Sabres over whatever has been going on there since Osgood retired.

I keep assuming they’ll miraculously bounce back but it turns out none of the kids are reaching their potential.

The guy that squeezed 78 points out of a tank squad sans Jack Eichel for 3 months?

That team has far, far, far, far, far better skaters than the tank teams.  It is not close.

One of the many problems with XHCDDB for this team is that he's terrible for young players.  He is justifiably notorious for mishandling youth like Zemgus and Larry.  His system may not emasculate talent like XHCRK's did, but it is not too far from it.

That was a good article and a good read. If they keep Granato I’m good with it. What he’s done with a team that played with a cap hit of what, 40 million since he took over against teams up against the cap record aside. The young guys have grown. They’ve taken an important step that I’m not sure they would have taken otherwise. If they hire the flavour of the day in an established coach I’m good with that too. I’m not sure I’ll be happy with how things proceed cause there’s no guarantees either way. Style of play, player usage, etc . It could just as easily go bad for the hired gun as it could for Don. If anything following this team has taught me is its all out of my control anyways and to have any expectations that next year will be better is fools gold. This is the Sabres we’re talking about.

Almost as important as the Head Coach are his assistants and the coaching in Rochester.  We need to get all of these right.

I've never seen so many 2nd round picks wasted .

Best one was brendan lemieux  Purposely had the worst interview  So we wouldn't draft him . (  And we know how that worked out )

He definitely was bad at asset management.

Fired too soon ? He couldn't draft and gave away draft picks like candy

This is lazy. From 2014 to 2017 he drafted: Samson Reinhart, Brendan Lemieux, Jonas Johansson, Victor Olofsson, Jack Eichel, William Borgen, Alex Nylander, Rasmus Asplund, Brett Murray, Casey Mittelstadt, Ukko Pekka-Lukkonen and Jacob Bryson. All of them are still in the NHL. With the Ducks he also had heavy influence in good drafts.

First of all he wasn't here for the 2017 draft . 

And he wasted  Countless 2nd round picks lol

 You want to give an award to a guy that traded 2 second round picks for Hudson Fasching

Totally blacked out out on his firing but correct. Nine NHL players in three years. THAT’S good drafting. Put some respect on his name.

The Fasching deal was bad. They traded Robyn Regehr for two seconds then trade them for Fasching and Nic Deslauriers. Fasching failed and was traded for two NHL failures. Deslauriers was traded for Redmond who did nothing in the NHL but Nic D still has an NHL career right now.

Btw  fredrik andersson gets full credit for drafting victor olofsson not murray.

Totally. Definitely discredit the GM for your own confirmation bias. No problem there.
