If they could have a do-over there and let him get his surgery who knows how things would have progressed but the common denominator in Buffalo is that their GM's (Murray, Botterill, Adams) after Regier have been terrible as have been the associated head coach hires. Ruff is past his prime as a head coach and I shudder to think about what he could do as a GM. Sabres really need to get the GM hire right and that will give them a chance to turn the corner but it's not going to happen as long as they keep hiring the wrong people.
