Hired 5 years ago today. Was this the biggest mistake in Sabres history?

    It’s up there for sure. The mishandling of the Briere free agency might be the only thing close that comes to mind.

    Ric Seiling instead of Mike Bossy in the 1977 draft has to be up there

    Ted Nolan….. should not have been let go

  4. I know he’s a hockey coach first and foremost and the hire wasn’t completely random, but his last job before the Sabres at that point was being a CHAIRMAN for a SOCCER TEAM.

    I’ll always find it ridiculous how we took him on as head coach when there were so many better options out there. Heck, I’d even think Ruff would’ve been a better hire. We just delayed it by 5 years.

    We won’t know the extent of the damage hiring a gm with zero front office experience will have, but he’s extended the playoff drought 5 seasons.
