Allegedly, Terry Pegula has given Whaley and Ryan an ultimatum: make the playoffs next year or you're both fired.
This is likely not much of a threat to Whaley since I believe he will be on the last year of his contract. Not sure how you'd fire someone after it expires?
As for Ryan, he was given a 4-year deal so the "threat" makes a bit more sense. But...then again...not at all. If a HC needs this for motivation...just fire him now.
Weird how Pegula practically revels in the Sabres being the worst team in the NHL year after year and preaches eternal patience to the fans, but he's laying down deadlines for the Bills.
