I don't see Edmonton parting with Foegele.
That backend is disgusting.
This definitely makes them a better team.

What do you do about coaching??

I think granato stays. Our owner can't get out of his own way, when it comes to the Sabres. When he bought the team, he threw money around without a second thought, but he's become more conservative with the Sabres the last few years. Granato has a three year contract that hasn't started yet, pegula wants the Sabres to be a lean operation. I think what's likely is granato has to throw his assistants into the volcano, then the Sabres will blame the rest of this season on injuries. I can see granato refusing to fire his assistants and getting fired, but that's about it. The Sabres have developed a bad history of looking for coaches with ties to the organization- so if you wanna guess at who the next coach would be, I would say Seth appert (Sabres ahl coach) would be the runaway favorite, with some other former Sabres rounding out the field, i suppose ruff is an option, but we need to stop making the same mistakes over and over again. I don't see a torts or gallant coming here, which is really too bad.

I don't think Edmonton would want to part with him either, but this is a contract that they won't be able to offer him. Sabres gotta overpay + add extra term in order to lure FA's here.

We need a steady, veteran Dman to pair with Power. That would be a massive move.

Granato is a great development coach. He can't manage an NHL room tho. We need Berube/Ruff/ been there, done that HC

Not opposed to moving savoie to offload skinner's deal. But i dont think toughness is this teams issue. They simply have no game plan. Everyone else has a set of tactics they employ at any given situation (up one goal, down by one etc.). We dont have any of that. Our PP doesnt have a system, our PK is just a bunch of young fast guys. When we're down a goal we actually generate fewer chances than when the game is tied.

Things like added toughness are marginal moves. The root of the problem is they dont know what to do. Thats a coaching issue.
