Dallas and Florida I mean are quality teams. I think any coach would be thrilled to get in on the top floor in Florida. That's just me. Of course it's more than just a great roster for a coach to pick his spot. Just curious I suppose.

This is true, but I wonder if a team like Florida wouldn't want a defensive-minded coach to go there. Rumor has it that Philly offered him 7 mill and he (smartly) passed.

I'd trade him, assuming his assertiveness stays elite, I think we might ask for a 6th too, or a 7th next year.

what time does the elder abuse start today?

I need to know if I need to take a nap before I get called a sh!t stirrer by someone who spends an hour saying Josh Allen is not ready to be an NFL QB when he was not even watching the preseason game

"Former"?... meaning the Sabres won't consider selecting a Ruskie?
I think you meant, later, right?

In case anyone is curious about the blogging situation I'll give you the update:

I've stepped back into the part-time role I wanted and I'm excited to continue posting on this more relaxed basis. Michael Ghofrani (former Sabres blogger) expressed interest in coming back aboard to contribute content and I relayed that to Eklund. No word yet on that.

I wish I had time to do this full-time, multiple times a week but I work a lot and live in a house that needs constant work so it's just not possible for me. I'm happy with where I'm at.

- Hank Balling


I wound up stepping back for similar reasons (well, sans the house) but I do miss it. Wouldn't mind at all sharing the role part time to double up the content but it's not my call and will respect their decision either way.

Even in a reduced role you've done a great job with the blogs overall, I hope you'll keep doing them regardless.

Per Darren Dreger, the Panthers are in the process of hiring Paul Maurice to be their next head coach...I have mentioned this name before as one of the coaches I believed would get one of these jobs...I believe the Panthers are VERY high on Paul Maurice and this means that Brunette could be completely out in Florida, or be kept on as an assistant...

This will be GM Bill Zito's first real head coach hiring, as he had inherited the previous coaching regime with Quenneville.

Lol, yeah i back read all that. I probably could do a whole thing on it. Would seem extremely extra to everyone else that didn't get the context though.

Does it normally take him months to figure out next steps?
I mean, I guess it is getting into slow season in about a month, so there is that I guess.
