Terry Murray hired by Buffalo Sabres; won't coach Flyers or Phantoms next year

There was a lot of talk earlier this offseason that Terry Murray, the former Flyers head coach that's been in charge of the Phantoms for the last several years, would join Dave Hakstol's staff as an assistant coach with the Philadelphia Flyers next season.

The logic was that Murray, a coach with years of NHL head coaching experience, would help Hakstol, the NHL newbie, adapt to the professional game and the issues that come along with it.

Nope. Not happening. Murray took a job with the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday, joining the staff of their new head coach, Dan Bylsma.
