Whether it's Lombardi, Drury, Dudley or whoever will be running the ship the players shouldn't feel too comfy this summer.

i'm with that, only make him vp of hockey ops

drury, hunter for gm

Montgomery, housley for coach
- Michael Pachla

we can't afford another rookie gm IMO unless someone is over him, guiding him


duds would be great

best advice I can give him


hire an experienced person for gm


rick dudley, hint hint
- homiedclown

I liked Dudley's work with Atlanta

Jack eichel..


- GERBE!!!75PTS

They've got the same hair

Ole Scotty is 83 years old.
- Buffalo--Sabres

and as connected as anyone


bowman president
dudley/ruff vice president
drury, pronger, broudeur, andreychuk, briere for gm
housley or quinn for coach

It seems the Pegula's have finally had enough of losing. They've had enough of trusting big talkers. They really thought coming into the sports world all they had to do to achieve success was throw around big $$$ and everything would be great. Boy were they wrong. That works in real estate.

With the Bills and now the Sabres the Pegula's seem to be ushering in an era of responsibility and reason. This is a great opportunity. I couldn't have imagined throwing another season down the toilet with those two.

Yet Doug Whaley is still employed

I don't think Drury touches the Sabres with a borrowed ten foot pole.


As far as players there's already an expansion draft, and I don't think anyone ever feels too safe being as bad as we were anyways. Honestly, I expect roster changes, but I think they will take an offseason, a draft, a trade deadline, another offseason and another draft before this team looks drastically different.

I honestly don't know what they're going to do or should do at this point.

The last go around, I believe Dudley was signed to an extension in Montreal to prevent him from interviewing here.

I keep hearing good things about Botterill, but am kind of surprised he hasn't been hired already given his reputation.

if you gave scotty bowman total control and 6 mil a year to oversee sabres hockey operations, does he take it?

we've already been through that movie...failed in buffalo, the only spot he's ever failed...

Hearing Therrien's name being thrown around for Sabres head coach.

Yet Doug Whaley is still employed
- MCGUIZZY

For now.

Doug Whaley going in an out of the offices at PSE everyday like:

With this new Sabres hockey operation being formed, they should hire Tim Murray as head of scouting.....

sure he would if an opportunity for a gm spot is available...that's how it works

President of Hockey: Lombardi
GM: Chris Drury
Coach- Housley

I'm not sure you can call what Whaley does at press conferences "talking."

It's genuine English word salad with a football dialect

john ferguson jr has experience too.
