he made a good trade, so did TM. should move on from the old boys club imo
- Sabresfan-365

they need to make a splash, for sure

This smacks of someone who knows hockey talking to the Pegs...a good sign.

My buddy works at a restaurant downtown. The Pegulas came in with some hockey people last week (not Bylsma and Murray). He's got NHL advisors

money talks, as does opportunity...there are only 30 gm positions in the league and they don't change hands that often

Ehhh, Drury said the fish bowl that is Buffalo wore on him.
Money does not always = happiness.
Especially when You are making $$$ only the upper 5% make.

then why did this move take 10 days to happen?



serious question

craig ramsay is working with duds in montreal

was drury's beef with buffalo the management? because now he would be part of it so that doesn't play in anymore

chronic

Scotty Bowman and trade ROR to Vegas.

Holy poop. I know it's 4/20 but wow.

I'LL TAKE BOTH NOW PLEASE
- Buffalo--Sabres

C Ram and Duds would be sweet. Getting the band back together.

And to the playoffs only once.
- buffalofan19

That was pre-cap floor years and you know they had limited resources.

he only had a year there

then when they moved, the jets wanted a different direction
- homiedclown

I'm not automatically dismissing him as a candidate, but that guy is as far into the "good old boys club" that is the NHL, and yet keeps missing the boat for GM jobs. Something doesn't smell right to me.

- homiedclown

good question.. could he be getting his ducks in a row and quietly be lining up his next moves so that they could make a quick decision on hockey ops?

Has nothing to do with their history in Buffalo but their work in hockey the last ten years.

I'm not sure. He just said that it seemed like intense conversation. I think it was a dinner to see what outsiders think of the Sabres situation. And I was wrong, this was like two weeks ago

Jack eichel..

went to bed drunk. Woke up to the best news ever

Pathetic.

Maybe now the Sabres can get their poop together and start heading in the same direction as the Leafs, probably not as quickly, but we both know that YOU want to!

Enjoy the series!

Umm, I don't think we have 20 years...

Lombardi-Pres Hockey Ops
Mike Futa-GM
Sutter- coach

This will not shock me. It will be Pegula's mind set to shake it up big time. Not a fan of Sutter as much but I can see the Lombardi hiring, and he'll get his man from the LA days in Futa.
- mhp

Lombardi? OK
Futa? Like the idea but he just got promoted in LA
Sutter? If Sabres fans were moaning about Bylsma's oppressive systems, then this guy ain't the answer. He's chip and chase, grind it out guy. Besides, Sabres don't have the horses to play that antiquated style

The Pegula's are the problem. They couldn't hire a gardener to plant flowers around an arena let alone a winning organization. Need hockey minds in charge, not business minds.

I was jesting about the band part. Yes, 2 very respected hockey execs who have both worked for successful organizations and seem to know their way around the NHL landscape.

But the concrete work around the arena was SWEET.

They've actually done a great job with the landscaping around the arena.
