I definitely saw this coming with Ruff, but Adams should be gone right with him probably by the end of this month.
In 4yrs as a GM he's had 2 of his own coaching hires, both didn't last that long. He fired Krueger during his first year as a GM, then hired Granato and that lasted for 3.5 seasons and then his only hope was a retread in an over the hill ex Sabres coach that should be retired from coaching after his run in NJ...I mean really?
There were a lot of very good coaching options for lesser retreads that were far more deserving and he went for a rehire out of what, nostalgia that the Sabres did the same for him? I thought he would be at least somewhat smart enough to look into someone like Nelson or Woodcroft was someone I thought would be hired by one of the vacancies.
Curious who you Sabres fans would see as the successor to Kevyn Adams? Shouldn't be that hard to replace someone that inept with someone competent. Hopefully whomever it is, they don't go after another over the hill retread of a coach and gives one of the coaches that are more deserving of a shot or another shot, a go. At this point, you'd go interim anyway and then move on from there if it goes well so there's that flexibility.
Must be nice to have that as a potential scenario, as a Pens fan, we've been hoping Sullivan would be on the hot seat for a long time.
And Reinhart and Montour. Something is wrong when players keep blossoming after they leave your team. They had all the pieces to be elite.
We definitely know how that feels with Sullivan, lol. Not to that extent but yeah...
