    Buffalo is making a coaching change. Don Granato is out
    Hard to say how much of this is his fault, but we all know it's the coaches fault if they dont succeed.

    Seven head coaches since they last made the playoffs
    Four general managers
    Zero playoff appearances since Terry Pegula bought the team (not counting the 2011 playoff appearance as he bought the team in February 2011). Is ownership the problem?
    20 team MLB H2H keeper since 2010
    20 team NHL H2H keeper since 2010
    16 team NFL H2H keeper since 2018 (looking for four expansion teams)
    14 team Premier League H2H keeper since 2023 (looking for six expansion teams)
    12 team NBA H2H keeper since 2010 (looking for eight expansion teams)
    10 team WNBA H2H keeper since 2022

    So you're telling me Peyton Krebs still has a chance to become a useful fantasy player?

    This is a great move by the Sabres.

    Along with Granato, they also fired Assistant Coach Jason Christie and video coordinator Matt Smith.

    Not sure why the video guy would get canned, unless he offered bad advice on challenges recently. I am not sure.

    Ya especially when Buffalo was kind of middle of the pack. https://morehockeystats.com/league/teamchallenge

    It could be his deal was done, and ownership just wanted to wipe it clean early.

    But it's wildly known that the ownership haven't been spending money on staff properly for years, and it lines up with the Bills doing well. It's rumoured that Kim Pegula is too involved, but not spending enough money on staff as a way to 'pinch pennies' for the Bills and their spending.
