Matt Ellis would be an insanely good AHL head coach.

Undoubtedly

Is Colliton in play? Maybe Jason Payne is in play too from the Cincinnati days

So, if you were wondering if Paille was possibly in the mix for the Amerks after leaving Canisius, there is your answer.

It's interesting that they are going with a guy with only two years of head coaching experience on his resume.

He does fit as a development guy with Asst Coaching experience at the NTDP and his USHL HC/GM experience.

Leone was on Seth Appert's staff.

2019-2020 USNTDP JUNIORS

Meh.. looks like Appert is already collecting his Assistants for when he takes over for Ruff.

Other than having worked with Appert at the NTDP, are there any other complaints? Because he turned around a Green Bay team and quickly and by all accounts did a fantastic job. Not to mention he's had success at the international level as well.

No. I obviously know nothing about him. I just hate the road that is already being paved.

I checked and they had Josh Ho-Sang on their roster.

They did and he's been very good for them.

But then they ignored them all and selected Leone because he worked for the NTDP and with Appert (only in the same building coaching two different teams) and we all know that now Appert calls all the shots.

That's too many!!

Fairburn: Karmanos said he had over 100 people reach out to him for the position.

If Adams could just be a transparent as Karmanos.

Adams said he talked to double digit people for the Sabres opening and people didn't believe him. He was just as transparent as Karmanos was...
