ORLY?

Money? You mean the one asset that Toronto gives zero (frank)s about?

We are paying a guy 27 million dollars to not play. You think they won't roll out the Brinks trucks for the best coach in hockey?

Someone better tell Babcock what Sabres fans are like. Link them Garth's blog and tell him "these are your followers."

repeating that Mike Babcock feels a sense of responsibility towards future coaches that he get a large salary. However family is family..

ffs.

Gretzky would've been a Leaf if it wasn't for his wife.

Babcock could be a Leaf... but his damn wife!!!

Buffalo is garbage. Horrible roster and no prospects. Eichel is good but not Malkin or Crosby good.

We know But to lie and say that Garth's views DOES encompass the views of all Sabres fans would give us an advantage right?

Does Babcock like to lose on purpose as well.. maybe Babcock could take the GM role as well and when he doesn't win the lottery he can cry about it and be upset that they HAVE to take Eichle...

And they still have plenty of cap room. That's why we'd like babs, but it ain't no thing.

Honestly, I can't see it being the Leafs, I have this feeling that the Leafs are being used to jack up the price like with UFA's as a ploy by the agent with no intent on signing here.

I like the idea of Babcock here.

Sure we won't be dead last every and reap the benefits of high picks but at least the kids will be coached the right way. They do not need to play in an intentional losing atmosphere. Look at Edmonton for (frank)sakes.
