-Vintage Canuck- Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 AV to Buffalo. Ruff to Van. Both teams shake up their coaching staff without downgrading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bookie Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I don't think now is the time. The season is too short to be messing around like that. Gillis can talk to Ruff behind the scenes and see if he'd be interested in the job after the season since I can't picture us getting through Chicago this year (they just have an insane amount of speed all throughout that lineup). Bring Ruff in before the draft. That way he gets an entire summer to prepare and a full training camp + preseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allkill326 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Trade Miller to Vancouver. We let Schneider have fresh start in Buffalo. Win-win. Solid goaltending in Vancouver and good start for Schneider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millerdraft Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 This seems like a reasonable plan, assuming he doesn't get snatched up (surely there will be more coaching changes this season?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c00kies Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 That team completely lacked offense and, overall, was comprised of very average players aside from Dominik Hasek. They were heavy underdogs throughout the playoffs, and their Stanley Cup run could be attributed to two things: goaltending and coaching. The team's greatest offensive player was Miroslav Satan, who only scored 66 points that year. Behind him -- Mike Peca (56 points), Michal Grosek (50 points) and Curtis Brown (47 points). The team was average, and only made the Finals because of Ruff and Hasek. In the playoffs, no player scored over 15 points in their 21 playoff games. Despite the lack of scoring, the team went 37-28-17 that year in the regular season. The year before that, the team reached theEasternConference Finals with a similarly mediocre roster. That year, 1997-98, the team's top scorer, Satan, led the team in scoring with 46 points. AV has the luxury of coaching one of the most gifted, complete rosters this franchise has ever had.

Millerdraft Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Scott Arniel was an associate coach of Ruff's for awhile there. Better synergy between AHL & NHL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millerdraft Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Appreciated! Also keep in mind the 2005-07 editions of the Buffalo Sabres were one of the most successful teams in the league at the time. They should have arguably been in the Stanley Cup Finals at least once during that period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
