If there was a "heart" reaction, you would have had mine. Hooli machine won't let me do gifs, so you get 🥰 for now.

I never thought even for a second he was a legitimate possibility.

That's quite the clickbait thread title and not in the way I think @inkman intended

Adams should inquire, particularly given their relationship, but it's pretty obvious to everyone that the likelihood of Brind'Amour coming to coach the Sabres next season is slim-to-none.  Carolina is not going to let him leave the facility.

Given the juxtaposition with the other thread I too thought maybe we had our Bod

Carolina plays this game of chicken with people every year. At some point they’re going to crash. 
 

I doubt that time is now, but it’s coming.

It amazes me how many think it’s exactly what that

[Carmel Corn]

Feels like another Babcock scenario.  Rod uses a Sabres offer for leverage with the Canes....and a bigger paycheck.

[PerreaultForever]

Anything's possible. Carolina could sign him and then we might even trade for him. Stranger things have happened. 

But it is of course unlikely. 

[HOUSE]

Yeah, whatever

Not saying he has yet....assuming he and KA connect once the Canes season is done.

Hey Rod it’s Kevyn, I just let Donny go, know of anyone who might be interested or be a good candidate for the job? 

That’s how you get around tampering 

[thewookie1]

After Carolina is eliminated I’d imagine Buffalo could request permission to speak with Rod. Until he signs his extension with Carolina there is always a slim chance. Not to mention Rod would be stupid not to wait until after Buffalo can talk to him since he can ask for more money.

[Doohicksie]

Ullmark was all but signed by the Sabres too.

 

***** happens.

Ask the Club for permission to talk to him for ideas. Tell them your friends. That immediately starts the Buzz Saw

Offer that man a 3 year, $7M/yr contract. Highest paid NHL coach as far as we know.

I swear to god if this dude hits the open market and we saddled ourselves with coach of Christmas past, I’m going to have to leave the internet.  This place, Twitter and any other god forsaken place will be unbearable.

IF he became available and actually wanted to come here then you just bump Lindy upstairs where he will be in a couple years anyways.
