[Lance Lysowski] Kevyn Adams said he’s looking for someone with NHL head coaching experience. Search for Granato’s replacement has already started. Adams has a clear vision for what he wants in the Sabres’ next head coach.

![[NHL Watcher] Chris Johnston on Insider Trading talking Granato/Sabres: "My sense of where the Sabres are at is they are certainly not of a mind at this time to make a change at the coaching position"](https://www.rawchili.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/y_7VaYcBqdMKHE-jVHHUy1SZXsBElyonLE6HcNlKl6g.jpg)
![[Lance Lysowski] Don Granato understood why his players were frustrated and, even as their coach, could accept it. What he couldn’t accept, though, was the way the Sabres seemed to not even believe they could comeback. My observations from a deflating 5-2 loss:](https://www.rawchili.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/gl857lGO4mWZt2OESZgcQcAor35TuwKKaZs4mbUBMoE-560x336.jpg)

Ralph Krueger has nhl head coach experience
Ruff is definitely blowing up Kevyns phone rn lmao
Damn. That rules out Matt Ellis.
Gallant HC, ruff AC
The Double Lindy.
Berube incoming
Neat.
Gallant, McLennan, quinneville (I have massive issues with this one, but objectively the best coach out there)
Lindy come on back to town please!
please not Lindy. Has. ot won in a really long time.
Adams get way pissed when Harrington asked a question that implied Pegula is absentee owner. GMKA says he talks to Terry every day. That was a surprise to me.
Adams and Ruff will be sucking on Duff’s wings before the week is out.
Toughness and a response from the bottom 6 would be massive… sick of Dahlin taking shots night in and night out and Cozens, Thompson, Quinn being the guys to stand up. Girgensons, Robinson, Jost, Olofsson, Rousek, even Krebs with those 15 point seasons, no penalty killing, weren’t in top 10 in hits or fights, defensive liabilities. Bottom 6 needs a gutting and redo besides Greenway.
Ted Nolan? Third times a charm! 🤣 For all the Sheldons here, this was sarcasm.
If the Flyers get rid of him, bring me Tortarella. He’ll be thrown out of town in a few years but he’ll make the team tough.
Guys, I already told you, Elliot Friedman said the Sabres are revolutionizing the game and going with Chat GPT as next HC. Matt Ellis has been promoted to Assistant Prompt Engineer or APE for short.
Bring in Steve Ott from St Lou lol
If it’s Ruff I’m gonna be… Well… I guess whatever at this point
Still sitting here on Darryl Sutter, but Boudreau would be good too. I wouldn’t hate bringing Lindy back but idk if that’s necessarily the right move.
By 6:00pm, ESPN removed all references to this from their top headlines. 54 years of mediocrity. Thanks guys! I’ll be peeing on the Rigas’ graves soon.
Berube or bust
I don’t think Berube is much to write home about and was made by Binnington going on a bender in 2019.
Gallant is a guy famous for over relying on veterans and not being much of a systems coach either. I guarantee Zach Benson suffers if Gallant is the next head coach.
Probably the best fit for this roster is Todd McLellan. He has experience, he gets teams to the playoffs, he’s worked with younger rosters and he’s also obtainable. He’s not a difference maker of a coach, but that’s ok because the majority of NHL coaches are like that anyways. He’ll be fine for three(ish) years and then you can move on to the next guy.
