Ted Nolan's post-practice presser ended, the Pat LaFontaine's media availability began on Friday morning.
My takeaway from Patty's presser was that he hasn't interviewed with candidates yet, hoeever, he said that he will begin his search for for his new GM on Monday morning. LaFonatine said that his past 72 hours have been a whirlwind, with having meeting with the business side of the Sabres front office as well as conducting discussions with Ted Nolan.
LaFontaine will head to the airport first thing Monday morning to interview his shortlist of GM candidates.
#Sabres President of Hockey Operations Pat LaFontaine says he plans to travel next week to talk with potential GM candidates.

I expect LaFontaine to meet with the following candidates:
Rick Dudley (still pending approval from Canadiens) Jim Benning (pending approval from Bruins) Jason Boterill (pending approval of Penguins)
