I know its not a sure thing at all, but I heard a lot of Experts place REX RYAN out of range by the Buffalo Bills, like 4th choice, yet when the Pegula's get a face-to-face magical things can happen, but I agree its a long shot, but if I've learned anything since the Pegula Family has taken over Buffalo, they don't feel, act, treat, or run their businesses "Small-Town", I love the Change that is coming over our City and Teams, What an amazing ride we have begun to ride, I'm glad my kids will grow up having Top Notch owners who will stand toe-toe with the Jerry Jones/NewYork/Philadelphias etc, of the world. We may be a small town city, but we have BIG TIME owners!

He's nothing, another waste of a hire.

Pegula alone won't be enough to get Babcock.

Who do you think will be good for this job realistically? Other than Babcock or McLellan who arn't coming here

John Stevens, Davis Payne just a couple.

I'd think we could make an offer that McLellan couldn't refuse. If neither of those guys will do it which AHL coach would you prefer: Blashill or Richardson?

Another bum.

He sucks.

He stinks.

I don't know much about Blashill but I'm sure Murray wants to and should make a splash with a big name if he can. If he wants McLellan he should at least make an effort. Why hire a guy like Richardson, could have just kept Nolan.

Nice Read Michael, it was interesting to get an interview with the man who has watched the Amerks throughout the years, love the idea and good job getting him!

What a great day of hockey its been so far! WOW, if people hadn't been completely BLOWN AWAY by the simply stellar coaching of BABCOCK then they missed another game were his boys played a "system" to perfection, no excuses about "Jimmy Howard" their extreme lack of Vet D-Men, this man is the TRUTH!

P.S. I wonder if he meets the "Concrete" level of integrity demanded of on this board?
- MEBSabresFAN

I heard from a source he doesn't.

e3

Does anyone know what Richardson's coaching style is?

- SABRES 89

From the sounds of it seems Murray will like it will be someone he has had a previous connection with. If I had to bet it will be Richardson or Bylsma. We seem to like Pittsburgh people too

Does anyone know what Richardson's coaching style is?
- Punch70

I heard he doesn't even watch video and it revolves around a lot of hustle and blocking as many shots as you can.

Wait...

Does anyone know what Richardson's coaching style is?
- Punch70

He stinks, apparently.

Garth Butcher......................Fired
Pete Debore........................Fired
Cory Clouston........................Fired
Paul Maclean.........................Fired


What is so great about Luke Richardson and Jeff Blashill? just because they are good in the AHL doesn't mean is works in the NHL. The Sabres need a big time coach and it will remain to be seen if they can get one.

- grand-magus

He wasn't the coach when they won the Calder Cup, so I don't see what he really brings to the table.

The guy played damn near 25 years in the NHL and had less than 200 points. He must be really good at blowing.

I'm laughing because everyone that is mentioned is a "bum" or "stinks", etc.

Why? Why are they "bums"?

He's the perfect "bridge" hire. They've still got a long way to go before they're a threat. In the mean time Richardson's a new face and as long as there's some sort of improvement fans will probably back him.

You can have him hold that position till the team reaches that next level, then go looking for your championship coach.
