didn't Pittsburgh give us permission to speak to Shero and waive the compensation? why wouldnt they do the same with Bylsma? I get it for Hynes since he isnt fired.

Isn't Bylsma's contract finished after this season?
I remember hearing he got a 2 year extension after the 2013 playoffs.
Unless that 2 year extension didn't kick in until the 2014-2015 season. I was under the impression that it started in the 2013-2014 season, maybe not though.
If it wasn't in effect until the 2014-2015 season, that means he got fired before that contract even kicked in lol.

I would hope they wouldn't want compensation for Bylsma.
We'd be doing them a favor in taking his contract, so they don't have to eat 100% of that contract, which he would have been unemployed for the entire duration of.
And I'm sure he's making more money than that rug wearing guy that they got now.

Shero just doesn't seem interested and he isn't Lou where he just makes stuff up or goes status quo to throw people off.
Plus I think Buffalo is going to overpay for him. Have they even interviewed anyone besides Babs and Disco Dan?

Not shocked. In all his interviews Shero seems to do his best to try and distance himself from Bylsma while also being respectful. He keeps saying he has his own vision for the Devils and Dan has to do what is right for Dan.
To me it just sounds like he doesn't plan to bring him here and the rumors is just the media connecting the dots because of their days in Pitt.
All we have right now is two stories about Shero talking to Boucher and two stories talking about Shero wanting Hynes.
So to me the only candidates are Boucher and Hynes.

Hi, I'm mat.
They haven't even interviewed Bylsma yet. Today or tommorow. I think they are slow playing things until they see what Boston does with Julien. And I think Murray is more than happy to end up with Richardson if everyone else is gone...he's been linked to the job since Murray got to Buffalo...it's just likely that Pegula is keen on someone more proven. Though Babcock was a special situation so maybe it was just that one case.

The knock I've been reading about Disco Dan from Penguins fans is that he's stubborn, doesn't change his system and prefers GRINDERS and VETERANS over SKILL and YOUTH.
Meet the new boss, he's like the old boss....

I just have to believe Pitt will want compensation for Hynes, but then again Rutherford is really awful at his job.

Could also be he doesn't give a crap since he's (Rutherford) clearly there for the short-term.

True, and it would be messed up preventing a guy from getting a promotion. We shall see in the next few weeks.
My guesses for the final jobs are
San Jose - Pete
Buffalo - Disco Dan
Us - Hynes
