Via WGR-550,
Buffalo, NY (WGR 550) —WGR Sports Radio 550 has learned that Lindy Ruff has released Associate Coach Brian McCutcheon from his staff.
Sources say McCutcheon is in limbo right now. If the Sabres wind up buying the Rochester Amerks, McCutcheon could have a role there. If that doesn’t happen, he may just be released.
The top two candidates to replace McCutcheon are former Sabres Captain Mike Foligno who’s an assistant in Anaheim and local product Kevyn Adams who’s been given more responsibility in each of the last two seasons on Ruff’s staff.
McCutcheon joined Ruff’s staff in 2000 after three years as Head Coach of the Amerks where he was 128-82-9 winning two Western Conference titles.
Before the Amerks, he was coach of the Columbus Chill of the ECHL.
McCutcheon played and coached at Cornell. He coached the Big Red from 1987-1995.
The Sabres have yet to comment.
