Meet Ron Rolston, the man that will be coaching the Buffalo Sabres for the rest of this season. In a press conference yesterday, the Sabres tabbed the 46-year old Rolston to coach the Sabres after letting Lindy Ruff go earlier in the day. Rolston had been coaching the Sabres' minor league affiliate in Rochester since the 2011-12 season and before that, was the head coach of the United States NTDP, who play in the USHL in addition to international tournaments. Under Rolston's watch, the US team took home three gold medals in international play, and in recent years, has been a hotbed for potential future NHLers, as they produced six first rounders in the 2010 and 2011 drafts, plus Brandon Saad and Justin Faulk, both of whom played with the US NTDP, are currently playing in the NHL.
