Better pieces for them to start anew with.

How butthurt would Toronto be if this happened and we won a cup?
- theblueandgold

If you guys got Wilson Toronto would laugh hysterically at you. Burkes a good GM but you'd likely see 2 firsts and a second for O'reilly, just so he can put his stamp on the team

Roy has not been contacted as per BullDog

he won with some real crap teams
- hubie

He won lots of games in 15 years...but 0 cups. I only care about the latter when someone's been here so long.

He would make sense as an interim coach. They probably do serious interviews after the season.
- Rally_Shots

Rumblings are that James Patrick is going to be the interim head coach.

Now they just need to hire someone without the word "Buffalo" anywhere on his resume.

David Pagnotta ‏@TheFourthPeriod
That's 2 down (Dallas Eakins also out of mix) RT ‏@RenLavoieRDSPatrick Roy was not contacted by the Sabres to be the next head coach.

I think Terry brings in a fresh view type of guy. It may come after this season with Patrick finishing the year, but I thin he will want to spend money on a winner. Hopefully.

So are we ruling Hecht out at this point?

Makes sense sort of. He'll definitely be the guy tommorow in Toronto.

Jochen is the new coach...

The Rigas family spent money. 3.2 billion and none of it on the hockey team!

WOW

Cunneyworth could be an interesting candidate.

Excuses, excuses.

Go with an interim and hope Darcy gets the same treatment as Ruff in the next few months.

And you would know how?
- Dwight K. Schrute

Umm....because I watched year after year, a fully capable, talented Buffalo roster get knocked out of the playoffs by inferior teams...??

Cunneyworth could be an interesting candidate.
- bsabres716

I remember hearing on the radio in Toronto that Cunneyworth told Ruff in Vanek's rookie year with the amerks that he was lazy as (frank) and was never going to be successful in the NHL. It will probably be Rolston but I wouldn't rule out Housley either

or was it a coach who got more out of a team that ownership didn't spend on...troll

- Buffalo--Sabres

Yes , but they had a private golf course built !!!

Theres a saying that goes if you have the 1st pick you take the best talent but I dont think thats the case with us. Jones is far and away the best player available but we need scoring so bad. Drouin or Mackinnon should be the pick. We only have one line that can score right now plain and simple. Mcnabb pysyk will come around eventually and Myers (should) (at some point...) snap out of his horrid slump

I hope its not Rolston. Leggio gets more shots on him per game than Miller. It would be the same lousy defense.

@Hockey_tracker
Sportsnet's Josh Rimer reports the #Sabres will promote James Patrick to coach at their 5 pm presser

It's Rolston according to Matt Coller on WGR. He covers the Amerks.
