Local news is saying that he is on his way to Buffalo. Looking for a solid source. Okay local guys, I know nothing about him other than he is Brian Rolston's brother.

Got a question since he is interim Head coach can he bring in his own coaching staff or does he have to use the ones Ruff left behind.

Rolston will travel with Regier to Toronto and meet with the players Wednesday night. Decisions about the future of the rest of the coaching staff will be made on that trip.

That tidbit was on one of the NHL.com articles. It looks like Rolston can change any of the assistants if deemed necessary.

I've liked Rolston in Rochester. He's gotten a lot out of this team and puts guys in position to succeed.
