The Buffalo Sabres organization announced that they've fired multiple staff members, including their head coach, Don Granato.

Head coach Don Granato, assistant coach Jason Christie, and video coordinator Matt Smith were all relieved from their duties in the Sabres' organization.

With a 39-37-6 record, the team secured the sixth place in their division, only behind the Ottawa Senators and the Montreal Canadiens.

Granato, in the six years behind the Sabres' bench, never reached the playoffs once.
