They haven't. Yet. 

[kas23]

Nice rumor to hear if you are the HC of the Canucks. 

[Digger]

well the fans have been calling for Jim Benning's head for quite some time now.  Firing the coach is the last thing in a GM's tool bag before he loses his job.  Will be interesting to see if Boudreau makes a difference with the games remaining this season.

[Sabel79]

How is Benning still there to hire another coach?  If that’s what’s happening, of course… 

[Brawndo]

 

[Sabel79]

Welp.  Answers that, then.  

[Zamboni]

Overall, it’s a major Overhaul

Now imagine being that abysmal for 10 years. Another franchise that chopped off everyone’s head with 6 weeks of losing. Lol.

Some teams demand better. The Sabres, not so much.

Sabrespace 2011:  Fire everybody!  Sabrespace 2021:  Why hasn't firing everybody worked yet?

Benning has been bumbling around there for almost 7 years now. (He was hired in 2014) Signed a myriad of awful contracts and made multiple bad/questionable trades. I honestly feel bad for their next GM who'll be trying to fix a roster with a supposed civil war going on while having almost his entire roster under contract . Just look at their CapFriendly....

I'm not saying they're terrible but the last 2 years they've merely piled onto a roster that had 1 good run during the COVID playoffs.

Then hire a bunch of unqualified newbies to do it all over again. The Pegulas have been an absolute curse to this once proud franchise and its fans. They can’t demand better but they certainly feel that they know better. Pfffft.

Much like the Sabres they’ve had a problem with direction. Hire Linden , fire Linden. Hire the Sedens. But what is their role ? Are we rebuilding ? Are we going for it ? The hosts on 690 love to laugh about the Sabres org. And the city of Buffalo. But they’re not much better. They had to do something. Green had lost the room. But unlike the Sabres I doubt they tear it down and start over.

This more recent time, we didn't exactly have a ton to tear down; we had a wooden shack on the beach lol

Yeah we’ve been shite on a stick for 10 years. And the Pegulas have an empty building as a result. Its tragic.

[PerreaultForever]

So they didn't hire a new GM first so does that mean the owner chose Boudreau? 

[French Collection]

Vancouver’s prospect pipeline is thin, Benning leaves a mess for the next guy.

[Derrico]

@Brawndo - I think there’s a typo in your title or I’m still drunk from last night 😉

[Digger]

Well good luck to our expansion brothers in Vancouver.  I'm not sure what they should do with that team to turn it around.

[Weave]

Overalls are news worthy in Vancouver?

Is this Major Overall the superior officer to Captain Underpants?

Quite an impressive visitor to their Berg.  😉

 

[Sabres Fan in NS]

He just can't bring himself to type anything that ends in Hall.

Since it’s Canada, they are just catching on to this look.
