Ralph Krueger's seat keeps heating up and we dive in on a host of topics as we await what seems like the inevitable decision to fire the Sabres coach. On the docket this week is a discussion over some of the notes included in 31 Thoughts on Buffalo's thin scouting staff and the potential pitfalls that brings.

We also spend time discussing the young players the Sabres regularly leave in the minors without truly evaluating them at the NHL level. We touch on the likes of CJ Smith, Arttu Ruotsalainen and others who can't seem to break into the lineup for the necessary amount of time to prove whether or not they're NHL players.
