26CornerBlitz Posted May 28, 2015 Author Posted May 28, 2015 NHL Scouting Combine features new look, location Quote By Mike G. Morreale - NHL.com Staff Writer Once NHL Central Scouting finalized the rankings of the top 2015 NHL Draft-eligible prospects earlier this month, the focus shifted to the NHL Scouting Combine, to be held June 1-6 in Buffalo, N.Y. The Combine will be held for the first time in Buffalo, at First Niagara Center and HarborCenter. Teams will have the opportunity for 1-on-1 interviews with the prospects at First Niagara Center from June 1-5. The medical examinations of each player will take place June 4, and a majority of the fitness testing will take place June 6 at HarborCenter. No player can test until clearing the medical screening.

Is this a "big deal" move for Buffalo if they land Bylsma? I'm aware of his coaching history with the Penguins, and his success in turning that team around, but critics seem to criticize his rigidity and seeming inability (reluctance?) to make adjustments to his coaching style. Is this a big fish like Babcock?
Canadian Bills Fan Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Not as big as Babcock but next best thing if you ask me CBF

Is this a big fish like Babcock? i am a casual NHL fan as well but I work with a lot of Pens fans so I can weigh in a little bit... He's a great candidate. They think he's a good fit for the rebuild and young stars. Bit of a tough guy, and very vanilla with the media (the exact opposite of Rex).,.

Happy to see he is continuing his education and still striving to be an even better coach. In the end, I think Eichel and Reinhart will make him look like a genius.
