Sometimes the best coaches come from hockey players with so so talent.

This.

And the reverse can be true, also.

Wayne Gretzky and Isaiah Thomas were terrible coaches, just to name two.

Also, very rarely does talent translate to being a great coach.
There is a lot to dislike about this organization - at times it feels like many here just want to pile on.

Let me get this straight... the sabres name Adam Mair Director of player development then he goes out and hires Timmy Kennedy and Nathan Paesch to assist him? These guys were lucky to have enough talent to put on their skates and the Sabres put them in charge of developing talent? What a frigging joke...

from wgr (for the hatty)

Dahlin was the first overall pick in the 2018 NHL Draft. He says being the young kid in the room is over with now.

“That’s all in the past, and there’s a lot of baggage that comes with being a phenom," said Sabres head coach Don Granato of Dahlin on Friday. "A lot of times, it pulls you out of the moment, because you feel like you’ve got to live up to something. But we’ve tried to distance him from that. Let’s find out who you are, because sometimes you don’t give yourself a chance to be who you are because there’s so much, and you’re in the light and it’s bright on you.”


edit: this is a really good piece

The Shakespeare quote 'uneasy is the head that wears a crown' is from Henry IV Part 2 is often now phrased as 'heavy is the head the wears the crown'. The phrase has become an English idiom meaning that those charged with major responsibility carry a heavy burden that makes it difficult for them to relax.


This organizations crown has been passed around like a hot potato since Miller was traded. I don’t see Dahlin being the face, Cozens wants it…for how long though during a losing season(s)

I don’t believe the organization has its true leader on the depth chart yet.

one of the things the article points out is that this young group is coming together off the ice...it's not hard to think that donnie meatballs has them thinking leadership from everyone as a group right now so that the "heavy is the head" quote will be dispersed amongst four or five youngins' heads--mainly dahlin, cozens, mitts and joker

That’s necessary (smart move by management) for the next 2 seasons, chemistry is great and is a positive sign that this group might have something. It doesn’t show that any of the kids have that leadership quality that stands out.

Losing changes athletes, that room will have a lot of lows, Granato did an excellent job managing that last season so that will be one of the major factors of this season, how they react.

he did...and he stressed that winning isn't everything right now when it comes to them as a team as individual growth and development as a team takes precedent...of course, he stressed that at the end of a lost year in about a quarter of a season...we'll see what happens come december and january when the season is a slog and we could easily assume that they'll be near the bottom of the conference (if not the league)
