FD19372 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 So Freddie Kreuger is out in Buffalo. Who are they replacing him with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinner would be around $1.5M in 21-22, 23-24, 24-25 and $9M in 22-23, $4.5M in 25-26, and $6.4M in 26-27, then $2.5M through 2033. A horrifically bad contract made worse by the fact that the team isn't even playing the player in the position that got him to production to "warrant" the contract. That said, aside from Eichel who actually has trade value, there aren't a lot of other terrible high dollar contracts. OK, Okposo, but that's $6M for two more years. After that Ristolainen for $5.4M next season. Nobody else above $4M next year. No, seriously. I suppose they'll re-sign Reinhart ($5.2M RFA). The real problem here has been ownership and management. Since Ruff left, they've had three first-time head coaches, a retread in Nolan, and Bylsma. The results speak for themselves. Much like the Flyers desperately needed Vignault to right the ship, the Sabres need a coach who can, you know, coach. With 10 roster players signed for next season plus Girgensons, this is a prime time for them to tear it down and rebuild. I'd seriously consider trading Eichel and buying out Skinner. They need a whole new culture on the Sabres - one that's not covered in the losing stench of the past decade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Granato will be the #Sabres interim coach and Steve Smith has also been fired. Development coaches Matt Ellis and Dan Girardi are going to be behind the bench as assistants. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a really good coach, and they should consider him, unless Granato does extremely well there. He was fired after a 24-19-5 season in Vegas, where the GM, McCrimmon, thought they underachieved ... after reaching the SCF. If the Sabres were 24-19-5 right now, their fans would be dancing on the ice of Lake Erie. Edited March 17, 2021 by FD19372 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
