Given the make-up of the Sabres now, I would not.  He is the kind of coach I would want for a veteran team.

He's the kind of guy to show the kids the vets the bedraggled chronically depressed fans that this is the N H effin L. Tighten you bung holes buttercups.

The one good year would be glorious.

Old friends Jonas Johansson, JS Dea, and CJ Smith are all on waivers today.

I heard Zegras talking crap about Arizona on spitting chiclets the other day and then this happens last night

Personally I love the hit and the fact there was probably some malice behind it for the disrespect Zegras showed. 

Edit: Zegras was asked if he had the Yotes game circled on his calendar and he had replied “no one has Arizona games circled on their calendar”

Talk sh!t get hit.

I will keep this out of the trade thread, but if you need some entertainment, go read Twitter and search for Jason Robertson. Then look for any one with a Dallas Stars affiliation. 

Some great examples: 

Ah, yes, only three contracts for 9.5x3, 9.85x5, and 3.65x3. So just $23m tied up for three years on bad contracts. It's a stretch to say tying up 28% of the cap space on bad contracts qualifies as "so many."

Also the quotes throwing Robertson under the bus for not signing.

Yeah, that'll teach him. We'll pull the 5'8" 19 year old kid from the WHL and slot him in as third line center and that easily replaces a 40 goal scorer.

That's a nice, clean, hard hit. Heads up chief.

Absolutely.

It’s even funnier because he was looking right at him.

Ok, I don't love Zegras, but that's a pretty funny response.

You're right, of course, but I think pretty much every fan base has a bunch of yobs delivering terrible homer takes on twitter.

He may not be disappointed per se but I think he also knows that virtually everyone was expecting Shane Wright. If Slafkovsky is in Finland and Wright is in the league and doing well the public and press will be merciless even if Slafkovsky ends up the better player 4 years from now.

Almost as funny as it is classless. I don’t care who you are or who your opponents are, you don’t disrespect them like that. Ever.

Without a doubt. And I probably would have made a similar statement because I’m a ballbuster. But I’m also smart enough to read the room and if I was playing a preseason game in Arizona I’d keep my head up lol
