JP51 Posted December 17 Report Posted December 17 I always suspected this when he came back and was forced to take the existing Asst Coaches... I always thought eventually he would be give the keys at somepoint. Quite honestly, I am not sure i want him as GM or POHO but hell I would be even willing to try that and let him over haul the team... couldnt be worse than the status quo. I bet he would make a play for Peca as coach. Quote

HumanSlinky39 Posted December 17 Report Posted December 17 (edited) I think Lindy should have been brought on as POHO this season, but I don't know if he would have even been interested in that. Maybe he's still intent to coach. A guy like Lindy would be the perfect buffer between Terry & operations. It's becoming more clear by the game Lindy isn't the coach for this team (I'm not solid that anyone is). Maybe that's the ultimate plan to have Lindy move upstairs in that role. But if Appert is the succession plan, that's more Terry ***** and he needs to removed from operational decisions. Harumph, I just don't see much to be positive/excited about in this team's future.

shrader Posted December 17 Report Posted December 17 Why is there a good friendship there, if there is? Terry fired him very early into his ownership. Were they chumming it up the whole time? Quote

Enough with this stupid flat leadership structure where responsibilities are muddled and anybody can convince Terry something is a good idea. President of Hockey Ops, GM, or something similar, that is it. Quote

Not earth shattering except for the close relationship between the two. It's been asked before: what does the Buffalo sports "media" do? If true, this kills my thoughts that Lindy was hired by Adams to coach for 2 years and that is it. (Maybe he gets an FO advisor job after the coaching job is done.) I am surprised by this report that Terry and Lindy have a close relationship. Perhaps I shouldn't be? Everything Terry has done with the Buffalo Sabres has been convoluted and always involves "friendships" and "connections" over bringing in fresh talent based on actual merit. He hired LaFontaine while being starstruck. He hired Bots over Zito, Bots had a Sabres connection. Housley. Adams lives in Buffalo. Now Ruff. OK @Stoner, where is this Rhett Warrener stuff coming from? I see nothing on this on the internet. Quote

That Aud Smell Posted December 18 Report Posted December 18 It makes perfect sense to me that Terry and Lindy have a close friendship, of sorts. I keep saying it: Lindy is our best hope for saving this joke of a franchise. He has the stones, the bona fides, and the relationship needed to stand up to Terry and right this ship. (Actually, righting the ship is probably not severe enough -- to bring the ship up from the floor of Lake Erie, restore it, and get it sailing again.) 1 Quote
