They actually did it.
I hope Appert isn't the next head coach.
I'm hoping since he likes to talk to the Big Guy on the daily move him to president of hockey ops, bring in a qualified GM.Good start...Guessing we're stuck with a Adams though ?
I am waiting to see who they hire. If it is Ellis or Appert, it's just more of the same.BIG summer commenced. Hopefully becoming a serious organization.
I hope he gets shifted back to a development coach role.What about Matt Ellis?
I have no issue with Bales staying as the goalie coach. He's been solid given the goalies he's had to work with.Why have the other assistants been kept on?
He’s been a good soldier, so instead of unceremoniously canning him, I wonder if they will just shuffle him internally into some other role.What about Matt Ellis?
I feel a little bad because I liked Donnie, but had to be done. Hopefully he lands a nice assistant coach job somewhere.
This part if puzzling ... is it possible their contracts were up so they don't technically need to be let go? I can't imagine Matt Ellis survives this...wouldn't make any sense.Why have the other assistants been kept on?
Thats some great lowering of expectations by Terry. Hopefully that ended today.Don Granato is 5th on the all time sabres win list (3 wins behind Muckler). He also coached them to their two highest point totals in the past decade. Let that nugget of mediocrity sink in for a few minutes...
I feel the same way. Donnie seems like a great person, it just unfortunately didn't generate the required results.I feel a little bad because I liked Donnie, but had to be done. Hopefully he lands a nice assistant coach job somewhere.
