They should be beat down to within an inch of their lives.

I work with a guy that knows a certain Sabres employee that has the middle initial of 'F' 😉

The info I got today (and don't kill the messenger, I have nothing to do with it)...

a) They like Power. He'll most likely be the pick. They MAY try to talk him out of going back to school if they pick him, because "they need players".

b) said Sabres employee will NOT reprise his interim role he held late last year, but couldn't comment on the other interim tags.

C) an announcement may come later this week or next.


Just passing along what I was told today, which isn't much.

Good note. Supposedly the Sabres want 4 pieces of premium murrancy.

It gets pretty obnoxious to suggest that kind of stuff because then other fans come in screaming

Yeah, that is the going rate rumor that has been out for awhile

I dont mean to cast aspersions on Kahun but why does he burn through teams so quickly despite having decent stats? He's heading for his 5th team in 4 years. It's weird

What if he told every team he ever plays for he would really like to touch all 32 NHL franchises, so one year deals, and please trade me every year

if you're the hawks, and were interested in jack before this story really caught fire, why wouldn't you put together a package like that and get 'er done?

Very good. Just wanted to see who picked up on that.

Yeah, apparently he'll still be working on the developmental side. Which, if true and they keep Donnie, makes me feel a little better knowing they'll get a "real" assistant(s).

My guess is Kevyn would draw it out time wise..it only benefits the Sabres.

Clearly Danny and Matty got a ton out of those kids. Nice to see Matt return at least

Could be a fine line though, with a potential of assets being taken away. Can't wait for a punishment, drops them out.

so is it removing the interim tag to stay behind the bench (presumably under granato) or to go back to his position in player development?
