The Sabres announced Wednesday that they have extended head coach Lindy Ruff two seasons, through 2027-28. His current contract was due to expire after the playoffs ended.
Ruff led the Sabres to a 50-23-9 season, winning the Atlantic Division, the franchise's first division title in 16 years, and its first playoff appearance in 15 years. The team's opening-round playoff series win was the franchise's first since 2007.
My take: The no-brainer of all no-brainers. The last person not named Lindy Ruff to take the Sabres to the playoffs was Ted Nolan in 1997.
