Sabres To Name Pat LaFontaine as Director of Hockey Operations???

Bob McKenzie reported on his Twitter feed that he expects the Sabres to announce that Pat LaFontaine is the new director of hockey operations for the club.  The Sabres have announced a press conference for today at 10:30 and it is being streamed live on their website.

This seems to be a trend in the NHL these days.  Hey, our team is struggling.  Let's take a former NHL great (preferably a vet of our franchise) and put him in a position of authority.  That will certainly turn the team's fortunes around.

What does everyone think of this move?  Other moves like this?



UPDATE:

Sabres fired Darcy Regier as Buffalo's GM!!  And....They fired their coach, Ron Rolston!

Ted Nolan is the new "interim" head coach.
