Umm, I think I know what the Sabres have, and I'm not going out on a limb with my previous statement.
Toronto may have "some actual NHL players" as you put it. However they're far, far from being a competitive team...

This is really dumb for the Leafs, terrible hiring NOW. They need to tank, hit rock bottom and get some prime talent in the draft. They are going to maintain their mediocrity with Babcock and never do the full rebuild. You are (frank)ed. 
- GilPerreault11
I think like a pro
This corner has gone on the record as saying Babcock is a great coach, but he is not the right man for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Not right now. After talking about not accelerating the rebuilding process, the Leafs went out and accelerated the rebuilding process.
Put it this way. The Leafs were the fourth worst team in the NHL last season. It would not be a stretch to suggest that with some creative “roster management,” they could have fallen further down the standings in 2015-16. Now, under Babcock, they’ll probably be better. Not much, but enough to take them out of the running for such high-level talents as Auston Matthews, Jesse Puljujarvi, Jakob Chychrun and Matthew Tkachuk – each and every one a franchise cornerstone stud.
Good job on the rebuild there.

I'll take that bet for a youth shirt. Sabres have more points you buy my kid a shirt, leafs have more I buy one for your kid? Sounds like a fun bet, and gives me more reason to root against the leafs. |

So when you do hire a new coach, will your owner and GM state publicly how disappointed they are that they didn't get Babcock?
- MBFlyerfan
Dude your team hired a college coach... you have ZERO room to talk.
Mind as well of taken a USHL dude. You are starting your rebuild STRONG.. The tank is going to be strong! |

Sabres livid for way Babcock handled past few days. Sabres so confident he was coming that they were prepared for Monday news conference. |

Oh Jesus what if Murray wants to trade #2 and a butt load of picks and players to Edmonton for #1 and Babycock didn't agree!?!
He is a great coach, no doubt I'm a little disappointed we didn't land him.

Really solid inside guy on another Sabres site who has a Sabres inside source:
Hey guys, I haven't read through the last 15 or so pages, but I wanted to apologize for getting everyone's hopes up.
I heard it was 95% sure Babcock was signing here, days ago.
As it came out, Babcock wanted more control and the Leafs came in and blew everyone out of the water with amount of control and matching Buffalo's dollar amount.
Again, I am really sorry guys. It was all Buffalo until late, late last night.
I am BEYOND SHOCKED he went with the Leafs.
Babcock really fooled everyone by going to Toronto.
I am sorry guys.

It seems to be about all about control if we didn't know that already. |

He calls trades/hires before they happen, when that always happens he does have inside sources. But believe what you want. |

Joke is on Toronto, really. Babcock showed his true colours the past week and you guys can ride his cock all the way to the bab ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bab_%28gateway%29) of hell for all I care.
I'm honestly happier with Eichel and whomever becomes our coach now. Way less media pressure, way less scrutiny. Under the radar is how I likes my Buffalo. |
