Did Ruff Make The Right Decision

from Jerry Sullivan of the Buffalo News,
Asked if he would have been so quick to sign that new three-year contract if he’d known what was coming, Ruff said, “Hindsight is 20-20, but it’s something that I’d rather not even comment on.”
Surely, Ruff knew he would get that question. He had nearly a week to prepare himself. He could have given the easy, diplomatic answer and said he signed his deal because he loves the team and the city and there’s no place he’d rather be, regardless of the roster.
Ruff did say some of the right things. He said the Sabres had overcome adversity before and would do so again. But he couldn’t lie. He could not say that, given the recent chain of events, he wouldn’t have at least considered another NHL coaching job.
