Hockey Night In Canada’s Elliott Friedman reported on Tuesday that he was recently told that incoming Sabres owner Terry Pegula would like to keep both Darcy Regier and Lindy Ruff “going forward”. He mentioned it again in today’s piece about the Sabres scouting department.
I asked Paul Kukla if he could find out from the respected CBC commentator how he knew about this. Friedman’s response to Paul was that he heard of Pegula’s intentions from a “trusted source” at the Board of Governors meeting in Raleigh during the All-Star break.
Another person to keep in mind is former Penguins GM Craig Patrick. Friedman was told that Pegula is interested in bringing on the former Penguins GM in some capacity, perhaps initially in a senior advisory role with the long term goal of him eventually becoming president of the club.
Whether Ruff wants to return as coach, move up to the front office, or test the free agent market is anyone’s guess. After yesterday’s practice he simply stated that he wanted to win a Stanley Cup in Buffalo. Regier has two years remaining on his contract and told the media today that he expects to still have his job in Buffalo next season.
