I’d love to see that change but ownership changes are very unlikely. For years people in the hockey world have talked about Randy Cunnyworth getting a shot at an NHL coaching gig and I think this is the time. He’s got a real skill at developing young talent and that’s what the Sabres generally have a lot of. > > I loved Lindy. In the 05-06 season he had those players motivated to the point that they would skate right through the boards if he asked. They started out great in 06-07 too but you could see something start coming apart the last 15 games or so before the playoff meltdown. This year they just haven’t wanted to play for him at all. I’m not arguing with you there. Ruff’s coaching has seemed to become a bit stale with the players. Draft pool looks reeeaaaally deep for defensemen after the top 5 forwards are gone. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/official-07-08-buffalo-sabres-season-thread/36504)._
