I hope Kevyn had a chance to interview Hakstol.  After all, it’s all about him building his embarrassing and limited skill sets...not about finding the right HC. 

Please give us a break. Really this comment on a thread with nothing to do with the Sabres. We understand you detest the team but why use this to once again tell us.

Ok. Thanks.  Hope I didn’t ruin your day.

I see that. But I also feel it's my duty to remind those who stumped for Boudreau that he's not viewed as a prime candidate by NHL front offices.

Yeah, he may be just too old at this point to sign him for term.

You didn't. It's just the constant drumbeat of a few crusaders against the organization. Hey, I'm frustrated too but to use any post to just bash the organization is tiring at this point but that may be just me. KA and Karmonis may crap the bed and if they do there will be ample time to discuss it.

Did they just pick him for the name/marketing?  Hak' for the Krak' ?

idk, he had an okay record with the Flyers but not great. Not sure what style he'll be advocating. I'm surprised. I thought they'd go with Tochet.

Great at university of North Dakota, in the nhl, nada.

boudreau great during the regular season, sucked during the playoffs. We need a coach that can do both. Granato.

In regards to Adams interviewing him, if he did or not, it wouldn’t be the worst thing for Adams to get some interview practice.

great interview guy.... apparently

Looking like Tocchett stays unemployed and Boudreau may end up 'at home' replacing Hakstol as an assistant in Toronto

Huh.  This doesn’t seem right.

The Sabres don’t have exclusive rights to stupidity

Adams did say during an interview that he learned a lot doing the coaching search for Rochester. He said he was going to do an extensive search this time. I took that to mean he was going to try and learn as much as possible from the guys as he could and meet with as many as possible.
