That 1st round pick for Lehner didn't help but, Kulikov and Franson should have been gone at the deadline. He got offered a late pick for Kulikov.

lehner at least proved he could be a no. 1 goalie...how good a no. 1 can be debated

Seems someone posted Pegs was seen last week with some hockey guys at some restaurant

Didn't see that one, Lombardi would cause issues IMO.

I've heard that Lindy wants to retire. Could it be possible he takes a President type job where he can stay here in Buffalo where he lives? Sure I guess. But before Bylsma was fired the word directly from him via my friend was he wants to retire and Lindy thought we should fire Bylsma and hire Sutter.

You succeed and you have to overpay to keep the group intact. I hope we have the same problem here after winning a Cup or two.

would be more than happy to have him preside over hockey ops...although I think duds would punch out Brandon if he was pres

I'll take 1 Cup please....... Issues?? I want a hockey guy first!

Just heard John Shannon on Fan 590 and he said he has heard whispers around the league that Boston University coach Quinn (don't know his first name) is a leading candidate for Sabres coach.

Shannon is pretty well connected but who knows.

Elliott Friedman on the pre game show said that Quinn is in play.

what if they're clearly the best candidate for the position?

I was being sarcastic. Still missing that and the "you're an ass button" where is this update we were promised? I'd settle for a beta at this point since this site is perpetually no better than a pre alpha in its current state.

would rather have Denver's Montgomery...step by step to the championship and had his players playing fast and aggressive

my bad...just got done listening to schopp and bulldog...schopp had lots of good things to say but went on and on about not ever hiring a former player

And is being criticized for being too attached to his own players, got his team into trouble bc he refused to move on from guys he felt loyal too and handle to situations very very poorly in Richards and Voynov.

Nevermind 4 years of drafting that hasn't produced 1 NHL regular and handing out terrible contracts

See Blackhawks!

soupy and huet were grossly overpaid
