Expand Well, I can understand this view based on recent cost-cutting, but TP has generally thrown money at the Sabres, and they did make RK one of the highest-paid coaches in the NHL. I've seen RK's salary reported as both $3.75MM and $3.9MM -- which is more than double what I've seen reported as being currently offered to Brind'Amour. It may be more likely that Rod considers Seattle and/or other teams and not the Sabres, but if it turns into a bidding war, I don't think TP will be outbid. 1 1 Quote

That puzzles me. I thought he did fairly well with a young, so-so squad and made it kind of terrifying to play against. Quote
PerreaultForever Posted June 8, 2021 Report Posted June 8, 2021 "Appeasing" Eichel is the wrong move on any level imo. Time to say the TEAM comes first and no individual is above that, not even Eichel. Team never "appeased" Perreault or Peca or Briere (etc etc). Maybe Hasek a little, but even he got ruffled a few times and he was apparently a difficult individual. You don't "appease" players you show them the door, and players should NEVER pick their own coach. Never going to have a unified team if one, or even a few, guys has a special link to the man in charge. Quinn is another stupid choice. Maybe they just love the name "Quinn". It's got good feng shui or something. 1 1 Quote

Considering what the return for Jack will likely be, I’d risk him changing his mind later if I can mend fences in the now. I’ve said all along you probably need to move Jack before his NMC kicks in if he’s set on leaving, but I don’t know that to be the case. Quote
