The Buffalo Sabres got a little carried away when they were interviewing Mike Babcock for their vacant head coaching position. Terry Pegula and Tim Murray were already to roll out the red carpet down Washington Street to the foot of First Niagara Center when it was announced that Mike Babcock told the Buffalo Sabres hey thanks, but I am moving to Toronto.
Now the Buffalo Sabres coaching search continues and the team has set it sights on former Pittsburgh Penguins head coach Dan Bylsma. Of course, you don’t want to count your chickens before they are hatched.
Bylsma is still on the payroll of the Pittsburgh Penguins, so the Sabres had to ask for permission.
