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.

dont worry.. babcock isnt coming here anytime soon

people forget it was the leafs who turned down gretzky because they didnt want to pay out his contract demands
- Dozzer

Was he married to Steve Stavro?
- LeafMan

Yup, took all of Stavro's money as part of their divorce
- PatC80

He was left with Knob Hill farms.

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!!!

Gotta have kids worth coaching before you get the coach.

What the Leafs should be doing right now in negotiations with Babcock is promising him 10 million a year in 2020.

I hope Chia-Pet pulls a Seguin and gives Hall away for dog scraps.

Just to see Iggy's pain and suffering would be epic.

Buffalo is a long ways from being good. expansion teams have been better than they were the last 2 years.

I'd be pretty surprised if mike ends up there

Like I said I think it is a ploy from his agent and he has no intent to come here.

Who knows, I don't know anymore.

Already have a bunch of kids. Also will have more after the draft. Even more once 81, 3, 42, & 19 are gone.

Had to sell that too...Wayne was such a diva...

I love seeing your pain and suffering watching Hall named to the world championships all star team under his new head coach Tmac.

Somehow, this will end with Babcock taking an assistant coach's job in Columbus while stating that he really wanted to coach David Clarkson

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?
- twiztedmike

I think it would hurt both. He would probably run as far away from Buffalo as he could....

*Insert he should anyways joke here.*

- Tee-Dot

are they good prospects though? that's the issue. not nearly good enough, especially with our record the past 10 years.

thanks for the info, Mike.
- MCharisma91

for the guy who stated Janet was the reason Gretzky didnt come to the leafs i really dont think you are in any position to chirp anyone.

Yeah they've totally ruined Hall, Eberle, Nurse, klef, Nuge, LD....
- Iggysbff

The great be all and end all Hall hasn't even hit 30 goals yet. Seguin is light years ahead pal.

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

I hope you're joking, because if you're serious, your hockey IQ = 0
