NHL dicks over Sabres again! First it was the cockamaney scheme that they came up with for the draft lottery system worst team in the league has 20% chance of getting the 1st pick, and now this happens Sabres not only had to give up one third round pick but 2 one to speak with Babcock and the other they had to give to Pittsburgh for Bylsma.
NHL teams will soon be able to hire jettisoned coaches and general managers without having to worry about compensation.
At present, clubs like the Boston Bruins, San Jose Sharks, and Pittsburgh Penguins can seek draft picks when the likes of Peter Chiarelli, Todd McLellan, and Dan Bylsma - all of whom were fired by their respective employers - secure new gigs.
There's an increasing sense that this is quite unnecessary, seeing as the new Edmonton Oilers general manager and bench boss, as well as the new Buffalo Sabres head coach, were free agents, so to speak.
They're going to get together at the Board of Governors meeting, which is going to be in Vegas during the (NHL) Awards, and it's expected this will be straightened out.
They'll say, "Look, if somebody's been fired, you don't get compensation for them." It's only if you get somebody still working for a team. That's the way it's going to work out in the future.
Sabres should get their third rd picks back if the NHL was fair but that weasel Gary Bettman won't do it! FIRE BETTMAN!
