I think i would be fine with Ruff back in the front office at some position... but I don't want him as Head Coach... nor would I really want him as the lead GM. An Assistant or special something sure. I'm not even sure I'd want him as the Lead of Hockey Ops.

Some role sure... but in charge of something big... Nope. He is AWFUL with developing young talent.

The most important question of the day is when are you applying for the GM opening?

Submitted.

Listed you as a personal reference.

The return of Patrick Roy?
- DDM-Coga

Lol.... as much as I loved Roy as a player... his time as at least an NHL coach is closed for now.

If I'm Pegula, among the GM candidates I would look at: Julien BriseBois, Jason Botterill, Dean Lombardi and Brad Treliving (if he's free)

Bill Guerin, Laurence Gilman, Tom Fitzgerald, other smart hockey guys

He isn't awful but he's a little above justin falk talent wise.. very replaceable
- yen6d1

Like I said, I don't want him back. He's not as good as one poster made him out to be and he's not as bad as you tried to make him out to be. That's all.

That trade is the least of our problems right now, IMO.

I'm told Pegulas were looking for answers on how to proceed, and Murray didnt have many, or any. Bylsma was collateral damage swept w/GMTM

You would think when meeting with your boss you'd at least make up something that sounds good

yes

Willy Desjardins, Dallas Eakins, Peter Horachek or Ron Wilson would be a great fit behind the Sabres' bench.

Add Mike Gillis as GM and you're set!

Wasn't Botterill one of the candidates back when we hired Murray?

I mentioned before that Murray needed to have all his cards in order before his meeting.

Lombardi for President
Botterill GM
Dineen or Housley Coach
FIRE RUSS BRANDON.

I think we're going to be good this year.

I just can't believe how much power jack has might have more power then Crosby
- GERBE!!!75PTS

Stop. the whole this is Jack Eichels fault thing has to stop.

MULTIPLE PLAYERS despised Bylsma. not just Eichel

Eichel had nothing to do with Murray getting fired. Murray lead both the NHL and AHL team to bottom of the league finishes.

Fitzgerald is interesting, but Mike futa would be getting a interview!

After the season they had not having all your cards in order before meeting with your boss sounds pretty ridiculous

Brisebois is the lightning assistant GM

Botterill is the pens assistant gm i think

- Der Kaiser

I am going to miss his press conferences though.

He didn't just get it slapped....


Tim Murray is now a eunuch.
