Following last week’s rumor frenzy surrounding the Buffalo Sabres’ reported interest in former Edmonton Oilers head coach, Todd McLellan, things have gone relatively quiet. It appeared as though the Sabres were in a dead-heat with the Los Angeles Kings for McLellan’s services, but Bob McKenzie later reported that he was no longer in consideration for the job in Buffalo and that the team never even sent him a formal offer.
Todd McLellan is no longer a consideration to be the head coach in BUF. The Sabres identified McLellan as a candidate and had some dialogue this week but an offer/deal was never formalized/finalized.
