This does definitely limit the possible destinations for Ruff however..there is also speculation out that Ryan Miller would perhaps be headed to wherever Ruff were to end up....sure going to be an interesting few weeks after the regular season....

Ruff’s out in Buffalo, Regier next?
After the Sabres played listless hockey for every non-Bruins game in the last month, fans clamored for head coach Lindy Ruff’s termination.

Do the Buffalo Sabres need to fire Lindy Ruff?
I’ve long been a defender of Lindy Ruff. For years, he coached teams that ranked in the bottom of the league in payroll in a cap-free world. As the longest tenured head coach in the NHL, he has lead some squads that overachieved and for a while it was easy to blame outside forces for the team’s recent shortcomings. After all, when the fields evened after the full-season lockout...
