What went right and wrong for Lindy Ruff in New Jersey
Lindy Ruff spent four years in New Jersey, missed the playoffs three times, but also set the franchise record for wins in a season, and won a playoff series.
For such an up-and-down tenure, Trey Matthews from Locked On Devils joins Sneaky Joe to breakdown what went right and wrong for Lindy on his last stop.
From getting the most out of Jack Hughes, to injuries derailing this season, and plenty more. Plus, Joe has a outlandish trade idea involving Sean Couturier to Buffalo.

Has Lindy announced his staff yet?
Skinner can’t be sent down because of his NMC. You can only send him down if it’s a NTC
Nice hat brother
I'm glad you mentioned the playoffs and viewership. I was the one who messaged the text line about FuboTV and the ESPN+ bs not showing the playoffs games
For the Couturier trade, I think that it would be easier to just buy out Skinner and go after another 3C instead.
No just add Patrick Kane for 2 mil and 5 year’s less pretty simple
Ducks swept Buffalo too.
It’s a non-starter because Skinner doesn’t waive his NMC. Can’t be waived to the AHL on that clause either.
Another meathead idea Joe. Just like trading UPL. That guy will age terrible. Then we have him for another 6 years. Another 2 years he will be averaging 12 points per year. The Sabres young players will need to be paid very soon. Get your oars back in the water Joe.
Na no Shawn in buffalo. I want Jiri , Rosen and Savoie on the roster
Skinner needs to go. We only need team players and not me players. No move clauses are up to the player. Bogosian had one and he was waived to the Amerks and didn't show up and was going to be bought out then went to Tampa and won a cup with them. Nmc doesn't mean no move necessary. Skinner is a cancer to the team. Find a way to send him packing.
I think this may be a power play by Couturier to tie the owners hands and force them to fire Torts. The team doesn’t want this kind of distraction and know they can’t move him, so firing an abrasive coach the players hate, that benched the captain and led the team to collapse after a strong start, is the easiest thing they could do to resolve this.
Trey Mathews is definitely well informed. Great guest!
I love your Philly deal ( Savoie Couturier Kulich a nice 3rd line) but i doubt Skinner would except a deal there. Instead Adams needs to say to Skinner, look you will be a 3rd liner here in Buffalo or on the 1st line in San Jose , Anahiem or Chicago . Skinner would then waive his no movement clause and Adams would just have to workout a trade with one of those three teams . 😊
Lindy got screwed over in NJ when their dumbass GM traded for Timo Meier last season . By doing this and extending him NJ had to say goodbye to two of their best UFA D men last summer in Severson and Graves hence the poor D this past season. Also Nasty goaltending and Dougie Hamilton's injury led to Ruffs firing.
Thanks for the video .
Sabres should sign Kane and add a good 3C, don’t know why we would get rid of Skinner and then add back a 4th liner like Girgs (I know everyone hates him for some reason I don’t understand) but he’s good. We’ll be set. Then draft a D.
Lol…Skinner and Torts….that woukd never work
The current playoff structure is awful and ridiculous
The only guy to play over a thousand games and never play a playoff game. Skinner isn't into unpaid overtime. He's gotta go
Locked on Canadiens this week mentioned Montreal wanting to get rid of Josh Anderson’s contract (5.5 x 3 yrs) and would probably have to throw in Harris or Barron to get it done. Sounds like two players we could use!
