I had this feeling that Lindy could be the GM and replace Adams as early as this coming offseason.
Maybe he'd do the dual HC/GM role, which we haven't seen in a very long time, outside of when a GM came down to be the interim head coach for the rest of the season after firing the previous head coach.
But now I'm wondering if Lindy Ruff in Buffalo is just gonna wind up being a reunion/retirement tour. Similar to when Hitchcock came back to Dallas for one more year (he replaced Ruff) at the end of his career. Finishing where it all started (he did wind up becoming interim head coach for the Oilers the next season) for him in the NHL. Or even how Jacques Martin came back to Ottawa last year, even though he was just an interim and Ottawa wasn't actually his first head coaching job in the league.
