given the lack of any visible and consistent change in play that is more or less sealing Rolston's fate, who are the candidates for coach next year?
- riptheguard

Good question...
I've been thinking more about player changes that need to be made
What type coach would we want?
Former cup winner?
Young up and comer?
I'm not really sure what direction I'd wanna go
If we are rebuilding,
A coach who's had a fair amount of success might command more respect from a group of young players...
So maybe tht would be the best way to go

I don't think the market for goalie is real hot right now!
I doubt if there will be a bidding war for Miller.

I'm talking offseason
The only reason there wasn't for Luongo was that hideous contract

at this point, if regier does not move one of the big three before the deadline, it has to start with the GM IMO
- homiedclown

homie, regier has never made that kind of move and i really doubt he will now

if regier was our GM in the early 90's Pierre Turgeon would have retired a Sabre

Moot point without his list of 8 teams though
- homiedclown

He doesn't have to list 8 teams though, does he?
There's gotta be a decent number of teams that would consider him an upgrade in net, and possibly the "missing piece"
Ask a team like Philly how important goaltending is in the playoffs

Not even bothering to read 18 pages, this team is an embarrassment to the NHL.

I see your point,
But u also have to admit that these particular circumstances are quite different that what Regier has had to deal with previously
Tough to predict how he'll handle this offseason IMO

I hope Torts gets fired so we can get him...

Torts???
Are you kidding me??
Why the hell would you want him as our coach?

well first off I hope regier doesn't have an off season

if regier were to trade 1 of the big 3 it's a desperation deal to save his job and i don't want a GM that is making deals to save his job

Torts???
Are you kidding me??

Torts and Miller throwing each under the bus in post game pressers would be epic !!!!

I just think that Torts's idiotic coaching regime would destroy a young team like our Sabres!

Is any Sabres fans in here gonna attend the Draft on June-30 in Prudential Center?

at least it would be interesting after a loss not a coach that sounds like the gm

- billyk

That makes sense...
Regier usually makes out pretty good in trades though
I think we need to trade all of the big3
Miller most likely gets a much better return in the offseason
I'd listen to what teams have to say for Stafford, Vanek & Pominville... If nothing jumps out at me I'd wait till the offseason for them as well

Regehr, Leo & Hecht all MUST be dealt at the deadline
Get the best return possible

Yep. Two of my best friends are getting drafted, I've been invited to mooch off the free hotel/room service

Edit: TJ Brennan scored!

I will be there as well.
Prudential Center is like 20-25 minutes away from my place!
I hope we get to draft Seth Jones!

Brennan scores a goal in his first game with the Panthers.

I don't know, after the whole Erik Johnson thing I'd be afraid to draft a D-Man first overall. My dream scenario is that whoever the new GM is can work something so that we can draft 2nd and 3rd overall. Imagine Drouin and Mackinnon together on this team

The Oilers have had the last 3 number 1 picks, hasn't done nothing for them.

I would not complain about that!!

Played the last 1:30 while goalie was pulled trying to tie the game. He is already an important player for them. I hope he becomes an impact player so Darcy shows us again that he is the buffoon we have all grown to know.

Tor-Wpg shoot out pretty crazy

LOL, Brennan traded and gets a goal and 2nd star in his first game, gold.
