After a disappointing season for the Rochester Americans, the Buffalo Sabres have announced some changes down on the farm for next season.
Dan Lambert has been named the new coach of the Amerks, while former head coach Randy Cunneyworth has been reassigned to a position in the team's department of player development, where he previously worked from 2013-15.
If Lambert's name sounds familiar, it's because he was one of the assistant coaches on Dan Bylsma's staff in Buffalo this season. In addition to working for the Sabres, Lambert was being groomed to eventually take Cunneyworth's place all along, says Sabres GM Tim Murray in the team's press release.
