How would you have handled the Sabres?
Here are the facts: it's the trade deadline of the lockout shortened 12-13 season. Regier gets fired and you get hired. I don't need to know every single thing you would have done, but please tell us how you would have handled the following situations and why you think it would have made the Sabres competitive.
Keep in mind:
-Miller's contract expires after 13-14 and he has said he isn't coming back.
-Leino's been a disaster-buy him out or not?
-How would you handle Roy, Pominville Stafford and Vanek? Vanek's done after 13-14 and it's unclear if he wants to come back. Stafford's done after 14-15.
-Ruff is fired- who's your coach?
-Ehrhof has a big cap hit and is dissatisfied.
-Finally, the Sabres have been trying to win since Bloody Sunday using a core of Miller, Stafford, Vanek, Roy, Pominville and all it's gotten them is 2 8 seeds with first round losses (and three years without playoffs).
This is an honest question. The Sabres chose to break it down and horde cap space and draft picks, and both have you have been very critical. I follow this team closely and I can't think of anything they could have done since the lockout that would have made them competitive this year, and I think a lot of the board agrees. So I just want to know what you two think we missed.
