Don't many assistants have their eyes on the head coach position? I doubt many of them are looking to be assistant coaches for life.

This is one of the best songs from the "rock underground" of the past 5 or 6 years.

It's Chicano Batman, which means Mexican Batman, which is hilarious. They were substitute teachers in SoCal and had a garage band, got some exposure (it's LA) and got signed to a small label that was actually founded by Dave Matthews.

Why is there fear of losing Borgen when you can protect Dahlin, Jokiharju and Borgen and expose Ristolainen?

What other moves are you looking to make with the $15M in cap savings?

Are you trying to ice a team that can compete for the playoffs next season? If so, is that really a good idea?

I tried to middle it, build for the future while trying to ice a competitive team for next season. This is what I came up with:

I’m using that cap savings to pry picks from other teams for 1-2 years. And 1 year contracts to isolate young Guys. My goal is playoffs in 2023 AND having a loaded prospect pool for 10+ years of success

Anyone give a list of underground rock bands
- Buff36


I'm not sure how underground they technically are, but try The Boxer Rebellion. They're amazing.

I have a feeling that LA would want to offload at least some cap in the form of Maata, Quick, etc. even if only trading for Reinhart, but especially if you add from there in the form of Olofsson and Ristolainen, although they could retain 50% on Ristolainen to help amplify the return.

- Michael Pachla


Honest question, did McD have a working relationship with Frasier or Daball?

show me where it says you can protect a UFA


I have shown where you have to expose someone who is under contract or a RFA who you committed to


you really have become an a$$hole lately and I bet you get sh!tty tips if you ever get back behind the bar

- homiedclown


Well look who’s gone “full beady”

The Sabres will be “ok” with our expansion draft “situation”
I promise it’ll all work out just fine

Just have some of that brown liquor & calm down you grouch

The same exact stuff can be said about everyone on the team, sans the workout stuff with Jack and The Viking.

Sam has proven to be 1RW and now a decent 2C.
Enough said.
Your hate is blinding.

idk...but frazier worked his way up the ranks had a less-than-stellar head coaching record and reverted back to being an assistant/coordinator

daboll had a long career as an position coach/assistant and has five superbowl rings in those roles...

both have been very successful in their positions as assistant coaches/position coaches/coordinators...not sure what the point is

Point being, like ion said, if the org (Kim, Adams, new hc) believes Gronbeard is the best assistant for the team, a past working relationship shouldn’t matter, a coaches career aspirations shouldn’t matter. Put the best people in place to do the job!

I would certainly hope if Donny G gets the nod, the team adds at least SOME solid experience on the staff.

We’ve already seen what happens when you tap a high school coach to coach in the nhl.

While I like the work Ellis and the other guy did, they were also first time behind the bench coaches.

Would the organization be stronger with Ellis resuming his development responsibilities and bringing in more experience behind the bench?

That's the point, his coaches did.
Who gives a (frank) what you or I think about what Sam is like in the locker room since neither of us know.

I know they are pending UFA so it would have to include a contract signing clause

The point, I believe he us making, is both of those Coordinators have been interviewed for HC positions.
To use you 2ords, why would McDermott hire guys who legit threaten him as a HC.
Because good HC's hire the best available guys they can...makes them all look smart and the Org wins.
