Buffalo Sabres general manager Kevyn Adams revealed his intention for Don Granato to continue coaching the team next season, despite the firing of Lindy Ruff as head coach of the New Jersey Devils. Ruff, a former Sabres player and coach, is highly respected in Buffalo and has had success coaching multiple teams since leaving the Sabres in 2013. Adams values Granato’s coaching abilities but recognizes the appeal of bringing Ruff back into the organization, possibly in an advisory role. Ruff’s passion for the game and understanding of modern athletes could benefit the Sabres as they look to improve their performance and connect with fans. The potential addition of Ruff to the Sabres’ staff could provide a fresh perspective and help elevate the team’s competitiveness. Despite concerns about potential conflicts with Granato, Ruff’s presence could bring a sense of accountability and discipline to a young team striving for success. Amidst a playoff drought and lackluster performance, the Sabres could benefit from Ruff’s experience and leadership in navigating a path towards success.
