If the concern is firing Krueger give him a new title, such as Kim's personal attendant. Gallant or Boudreau, even former captain Steve Ott. This car fire needs to be fixed.

I would hope that Gerard Gallant Is sharper than to take that job, He will have more options starting In July.

New coaches or office staff won't change bad ownership.

The Pegulas and Melnyk should all get together and form a throuple.

Then why wasn’t Garf fired long ago? And why are you still letting him cling on with a podcast? He’s incompetent, has no hockey knowledge, has no fans, and is completely delusional.

I still think Garry Galley would do a better job than Mr. Taxi Squad Gallant. One knows the mid-tier dinning experiences of the Ottawa Region to a tee.

All this hate towards writers yet no one steps up! I’d rather read something, regardless of their opinion compared to others, than nothing at all! Would rather have something to comment on then nothing at all!
And regards to Gallant, his talent is making something out of nothing so to speak. Idk if him joining the Sabres is the best fit for him. There is a system in place here, yes trash, but a system newer coaches would just take and adjust on the fly. Gallant is more of just a install complete new system and not adjust. Boudreau fits better as he can and has adjusted systems then made his own transition next year. Just my perspective of whom would fit better. No matter what they do this year won’t matter. Only difference it will make is how much money the Sabres will make from ticket and concession sales this year. Keep kreuger then not much money, as compared to making a change people will show up and make more money now.

Can the Devils get Gallant and a writer on Hockeybuzz? Todd Cordell was excellent. Currently we get a post once a week with no viable opinions and often times incorrect stats such as the last post talking about our crosstownnrivals (Rangers) Panairen Kreider and Barzel. I think one of these players are on the other NY team.

Nope. Boudreau would be better with the makeup of the team.

Unless Eichel is for surely going to be traded I’d definitely go with Gallant.

How are they bad owners?

I mean they spend to the cap every year. It’s not their fault Eichel and company can’t put the puck in the net. The only thing you can blame on them is the ROR trade.

People of Buffalo should be bowing down to the Pegula family.

If Kruger is fired that means 5 coaches in 6 years for Eichel. Who's the real problem?

Thanks a ton and your are spot on about Gallant's talents. I think the system in place needs to go though.

Valid, but giving up is not an option. And Eichel is not the issue.

Back when he posted the picture of the house that Eichel bought in Buffalo many years back I fully expected him to get arrested for skinny-dipping in Eichel's hot tub. And after the police searching the area, them finding nothing but a pair of jorts.

In response to the question, the Sabres should wait until the BJ's fire Torts and then hire him, to constantly get on Skinner's case day after day to the point where he wants to retire early and give the Sabres favorable buyout terms (if that is possible).
