I was on the fence for awhile, but I definitely would like to see an experienced winning HC hired. My mind is made up. Agree. I think the granato shine has worn off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatorman0519 Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 If I’m the owner I don’t want my team to break the all time futility record we are staring at next year. Gallant took Florida and Vegas to the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthEbriate Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 Started watching only a few minutes ago, but one team is pressuring, pursuing, and attacking, and it's not the team that's trailing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusader1969 Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 Worse game under Granato? I’m sure there has have been other clunkers but this has the feel of a game from before he was coach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kong Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 Skinner's got to waive that NMC. He must hate it in Buffalo and its poor teams. The fans are all over him. Money isn't everything. He's got to be very unhappy in Buffalo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brawndo Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 Friedman was asked about Granato Chances of being the HC. He mentioned other teams that have played them since he took over have noticed that their structure is dramatically improved. He specifically mentioned Gallant and that they have to pay Krueger another 3.9 Million next year not to coach. On that note Botterill, Sexton and Greeley for another year as well. Friedman mentioned Krueger’s Money might prevent them for a big name hire. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODO Hockey Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 Still people think Don Granato should be HC just because they won some games and changed playstyle after losing 18 games. Even a 5 year old kid would make them win just by taking the place of the worst coach in history of hockey. This team needs a real good coach, its that or 11th season without playoffs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting stuck with a lessor option because of that would be a betrayal to the fans IMO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now at this moment he is probably the most overpaid player in the league, he is taking up over 10% of your entire cap, and you have this for 6, SIX more years. You give up a pretty good asset (not Eichel or Dahlin, but maybe a 'good' nhl player) with nothing in return just to get rid of that awful, awful contract.

Right, and apparel sales etc. It's hard to justify updating gear that's associated with losing. The current jerseys are tainted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
