The moment that the Buffalo Sabres announced that head coach Phil Housley’s time with the blue and gold was over, fans and media alike began salivating over the thought of who could step behind the bench next. Over the course of the last two weeks since Housley’s firing, so many names have been popping up - some as rumored to be linked to the Sabres, some as far-fetched hopes and dreams, and some pulled seemingly out of thin air.
One day, it seemed like Todd McLellan was absolutely, definitely, maybe coming to Buffalo.
