GMTM & Bylsma GONE!

[JATMtheJATM]

To kind of expand on my prior post: Take a page out of the Maple Leafs' playbook. They brought in Brendan Shanahan as their president, and went from there.

If-say-Ruff or Dudley came on board as the new president(you can even add the words "Of Hockey Operations" to that title),I'd be OK with that.

I actually had the same thought with ruff. He's beloved in buffalo. But not sure he should coach in buffalo

Stop with the madness, what did he do last time except waste the talents of best goalie ever ?

Seriously? Ruff had Hasek 4 seasons. Went to the second round three times. Conference finals twice, and the cup finals once. Ruff didn't waste anything, he got Max mileage out of a weak ass team except the 01 team

Looks like Bylsma and Murray aren't the ONLY firings the Sabres are doing. Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet/HNIC adds that Buffalo has also turfed the Directors of Amateur Scouting(Greg Royce)and Pro Scouting(Rob Murphy).

That doesn't mean he wasn't able to do anything with what he had, which was your claim. You're a dime a dozen loud mouthed know nothing fan who thinks that by making high expectations, it makes you a knowledgeable fan. Except you aren't.

This is pure conjecture. Brisebois, Guerin and Dudley are encouraging names to hear. Lombardi IDK. Anyone working under Stan Bowman would be great, but cannot get excited over that at this point.

Let's put this question into play: How about Buffalo brings in a President of Hockey Operations to start with? THAT person would hire the GM. And then the GM hires the head coach.

This is quite literally the only way this will work.

Yeah, we should look at someone like Pat Lafontaine.

Yeah, that was kind of a sign to me that pegula doesn't know what he's doing

Pegs hung a legend of this game and USA hockey out to dry in favor of tanking and Murray.

this is ALL karma.

I don't see what Murray has to do with it. You act as if Murray is done sort of villain.

the Pegula's gave a sh1t talking scout the keys to an NHL franchise.

[Skooby]

Pegula is leading the search with all his hockey knowledge, no worries.

They gave an assistant GM a shot. Which they'll probably do again

It worked for the Leafs. Get the right person in here to be the Pres. of Hockey Ops. That's all I ask.

Actually, Murray was lafontaines choice, not pegula.
