hf101 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Dan Blysma is being sought after by both the Sharks and Sabres organizations. After sitting out last season he's probably likely to be offered an inflated salary due to Babcock's crazy salary. All good for Blysma, ha. So which team pulls out the checkbook to sign him? Which team is Blysma's coaching style a better fit for? His win record is somewhat inflated due to his coaching the Penguins. Blysma is known as a stubborn players coach, raising the bar of lesser players. He's had a year though to reflect on changes to his style. Is Blysma a better on a youthful roster such as the Sabres or mix of veteran leaders with youth on the Sharks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I think Hitch if he opts out heads to San Jose....just a hunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertmega Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I think it will have to be Buffalo. Or maybe Buffalo goes the Flyers route and scouts the NCAA for some coaching. In either case they have the farm and the talent. They just need a goalie and they're will be competitive (gasp I hate typing that) in a few years. Bylsma isn't the worst, and has a cup to show for it; however, I think I could have coached that squad to a Stanley Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J0e Th0rnton Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Sharks will hire someone they don't need to give up a pick for methinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottM Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I think Buffalo goes for him. He has his fair share of detractors, but he has won a Stanley Cup. Pegula will want to show that he can still hire a winner after losing out on the Babcock sweepstakes, and he'll probably throw an obscene amount of money at him to draw him in.

flyercanuck Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I think they flip a coin...loser takes Bylsma... he's all yours Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polaris922 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 We Pens fans got on Bylsma at the end because of his unwillingness to use Crosby and Malkin correctly, and unwillingness to adapt to the opposition. Having said that, he WAS a good coach for us. He had success here, and I'm sure he'll be successful wherever he ends up. He IS the only active coach with a higher winning points percentage than Babcock lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxpin Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 There are four new women's hockey teams. Perhaps Bylsma goes to one of them. He's coached Crosby, so he has some experience coaching female hockey players. ::ninja:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polaris922 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 He struggles beating women's teams though... He lost to the Flyers a LOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammer2 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Blysma's wonky coaching was barely successful with Crosby and Malkin in the mix....minus those two stars, a Blysma lead team will struggle mightily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
