Atlantic Division Coach Officially on the Hot Seat

While no reasonable person expected a Stanley Cup run from the Buffalo Sabres this season, the team was at least supposed to take a run at making the playoffs. That isn't happening right now, and it may lead to changes sooner rather than later.

According to TSN Insider Pierre LeBrun, unless something changes soon, the Buffalo Sabres will have little choice but to fire coach Don Granato.

Granato signed a two-year extension back in October of 2022 that didn't kick in until this season started. LeBrun believes Sabres GM Kevyn Adams wants to give Granato as much time as possible to get the team out of its current slump, but he simply can't wait forever and will have to take action if the losses continue.

Buffalo is currently well below .500 on the season with a record of 14-18-4. They are second last in the Atlantic, six points ahead of the last place Ottawa Senators.
