Buffalo Sabres fire their head coach Don Granato

Granato is a good coach, as the 56 year-old was 122-124-27 in 274 games over four seasons.Unfortunately, the drought wasn't snapped which is the benchmark for a bench boss in this city.

It's been 13 years since the Sabres sniffed the playoffs. But it's possible this could might just be the beginning. Big moves are definitely on the horizon for those guys out in western New York.

With promising young players, like Rasmus Dahlin, Dylan Cozens, Bowen Byram, Devon Levi, Tage Thompson, J.J. Peterka you'd think they'd be contenders by now. Yet here we are doing the opposite.

There could be some major shakeups in the front office. GM Kevyn Adams could also get the boot too. Hopefully a new coach comes in who can help them reach the promise land. Throw in the renovations to KeyBank Center and it's going to be an intriguing summer in Buffalo.
