@Real_ESPNLeBrun

Further to Tim Murray's hire as GM in Buffalo, told that Sabres interviewed 10 candidates in total for the job...

Benning,futa,trileving,Murray,loiselle,botterill,Fenton.who else?

 

[Zip15]

Cool. I'll probably watch it this afternoon. Interested to hear what Murray has to say, though I doubt we'll get much of value.

As much as I enjoy the announcement of Tim Murray as GM, I more so enjoy anything to do with Sahlen's hot dogs!

Zweigles > Sahlen's > Hoffman's

Sorry, the Rochester in me.

Benning,futa,trileving,Murray,loiselle,botterill,Fenton.who else?

Perhaps Laurence Gilman, the AGM for Vancouver. His name comes up a lot in "future GM" conversations.

 

[Ruckus007]

Unless something actually happens in the press conference in regards to the media, let's keep those discussions out of this thread.

Noted, apologies.

Dudley didn't want it correct?

Good call. There are others of that ilk, AGMs and otherwise, so I wonder what...unconventional folks were spoken to. Messier still gets mentioned as a former potential candidate, for example.

Truth. Rochester native or not. I'd put Hoffamn's above Sahlen's.

Fair enough and understood. Personally, I've had both, and I just can't shake the texture and taste of the Sahlen's. It's all in the texture for me. Both are great dogs though!

Thats Jimmy, not timmy.

I would love to see him yell TIMMAY! at one of the TBN guys for a dumb question, but knowing Tim, you will see a dry kind of press conference.

I think, knowing past history, you will see TBN guys trying to trip him up and provide a sound bite for their articles.

 

[Mit Yarrum]

I'm happy with how the Sabres handled this. A good long search, with reportedly 10 candidates interviewed at least once.

And other than the fact that they both know Maloney, there is no connection between the Sabres, LaFontaine, or Murray.

And apparently we screwed Burke in the process, which is always nice.

Definitely Zweigles #1 for me too. Nothing beats the white hots.

 

[26CornerBlitz]

Just about set.

 

[Icelevel]

congrats guys! will be watching. and cheering a bit for timmy. i really love that guy. you'll see....no bs with him.
also, he likes big strong guys with skill (obviously) and will sign college guys to fill out the A if it makes sense.
I expect the sabres to start on a steady climb to the top once he gets himself settled.

Jeff Gorton (Rangers AGM) was thrown around a little bit around here, maybe he was on it?

@TSNSteveLloyd

Don't look for Luke Richardson to join Tim Murray in Buffalo. Hearing that Ted Nolan will likely get an extension. #Sens #Sabres

 

[McCauleyChirps]

And...its go time.

 

[vcv]

About to start. Terry Pegula and wife there, as well as Ted Nolan, Cliff Benson and the usual crew. Don't see Pat or Tim yet.

Channel 4 feed behind sabres.com feed.

No audio yet.

Huh...weird. Not that I have anything wrong with Teddy, just seems a bit early to say something like that.
