They went after babc0ck and hired bylsma?

Phail lousley was a respected hire, who immediately resurfaced in Arizona.

Krueger- no excuses
- Boss34

Did they though? babcock played the sabres and Blysma was trash.

Blysma's system was garbage

Please explain
Murray
Rolston
Botterill
Kreuger
Housley

All rookies or close to trash no experience.

The only guy who deserves excuses was Ted Nolan.

Honestly, I'd prefer if they kept the youngins away from this poop show until Ralf ou s fired and a suitable coach is hired

It was fun to see Bryson and Borgen play and play well.
Give them more time with Krueger and Smith and they will Coach fear into them as well.
You watch, 10 - 15 games from now Bryson will be coached down...don't carry the puck...pass it to the D, make sure you leave the O-zone early to prevent anyone from getting behind you...JC, don't carry the puck in the O-zones, shoot from the point...shots on net.

Send him back and let him keep getting solid reinforcement from Apert.

Ok, fair point
I’d just like to see some of the young guys “get a look” at least

Ok I will say it, I miss Ruff and Reiger.

Damn, I even miss Murray. At least he was entertaining.

This is such a futile discussion. Everyone in the org deserves blame. Name one guy who has done enough? Everyone from the very top to Tage Thompson has not done enough. It doesn't matter. All that matters is that you have a collection of players that are talented enough to win in this league and haven't.

What are toys without a child to play with them? Dusty plastic.

Not blaming players until we bring in an NHL coach. We haven't had one since Ruff.

I'm still waiting for you to explain why it's the players fault when Eichel, Dahlin, Joker, Skinner, Hall and Staal have all regressed under this moron
- jcragcrumple

I think your %💯0 skinner correct in regards to Ralph.

Should/ could have been fired a few weeks ago to salvage the season.

Now what? This team would be better getting rid of the last " core guys". Aside from.eichel.

Sam
Risto
Hall
Montour
Miller

How many coaches have these guys looked mediocre under?

Crazy things did not happen last offseason due to the frozen cap, and the conditions are going to be the same this offseason as the cap will be frozen again.

IMO they would be the high bidder at $3.5M per for 2 seasons.
- kingcong39

Talbot got 3 years @ 3.6m. I'd think Ullmark is in a little stronger position. Maybe not.

Markstrom's deal is borderline crazy.

I really don't know, but it was a weak decision to sign him to a 1 year deal last year.

Bad Management structure
Bad coaching
Bad leadership
Bad goaltending

Last 10 years for sure 👍
- Boss34

keep going


bad drafting
soft players
bad line combos
bad contracts

Tage is trash. Jason Botterill trash.

Traded away OReilly for trash.

Trash rookie GM traded gold for trash

Tage is trash, how can I blame trash for being trash.

Eichel is gold playing like trash. He can play like gold we need an NHL coach for that.

You said " imagine a real hockey coach here"
Something about kim heading him a lineup.

Just pointing out that the pegula's have hired experienced coaches.

2 for 4 if you include ted nolan and disco
2 for 5 if you include garden gloves

Some rookies ,not all rookies.
Murray and bitts were not coaches

- sabresfan69

Bylsma was successful in PIT
Housley was a respectable “up & comer” hire

Both had very flawed rosters to coach

Our roster is still flawed


I’m for bringing in a more experienced coach

But remember, any of those guys who keep getting mentioned have also been fired repeatedly & had their own failures

Rolston didn't have experience, ted Nolan was temporary and we were told so and Disco dan was trash.

1 coach had experience out of the last 4 and thats Byslma. Rolston came from the AHL.

All the fired trash got NHL positions as coaches and GMs? No cause they were trash

I hope we get lit up and embarrassed. The funny part is .... I don’t even really have to hope because it’s going to happen anyways

Asplund and mittlestadt should be playing

Okposo and Hutton should be waived immediately. That would be a start

It'll be like state sponsored TV in in North Korea broadcasting the BBC. I hope the Pegulas have the balls to watch NBC tear them apart.

- jcragcrumple

Already made it clear that I'm not talking about Ralph. I'm talking about the last 10 years and the craziness of blaming all those coaches for everything.

Eichel was at his peak under Ralph. Skinner was at this peak under Phil. Doesn't make either a good coach.

For most teams, coaching is a revolving door. When the team is good, we say the coach is good. When the team is bad, we say the same coach is bad. When the front office is inept, it all looks bad.

NO ONE* is making trades
- jdfitz77

*excluding the teams who have made trades

Also, hey, maybe fire the coach. One team with a winning record did that, and one team with a .500 record did rhat

- Lunaion

Ullmark hasn't played more than 37 games each of the past 2 seasons and he's been injured each of the past 2 seasons.

On top of that, his advanced stats last year were not good.

I don't see Ullmark being in any kind of a strong position.
