Could Ted Nolan be fired during the season?

you ever notice teams that start super hot for like 10-15 games usually can cost into playoffs if they level out after that? also, teams that really suck in the first 10-15 games have a very hard time making up ground later in the season.

part of me thinks reinhart was selected to ensure a weak start and then when they send him back to the juniors, the sabres will develop some of their young talent and get chemistry together.

and i think management is fine with that and they like nolan as a leader to get kid to compete. i will be interested to see how well they compete in february and March losing close games to good teams. then you know the pick is cemented and a core is developing.

i feel like they've had a couple hot starts and faded away as the season wore on.

They will. But they dismantled a bad (right now) rangers team.
