Still MIGHTY Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 MacLennan to Edmonton.I heard they were signing Todd McLellan.But I guess Jamie McLennan might have learned some stuff at TSN/NHL Network. Paul MacLean is out there too. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youcan'tseeme Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 As far as Babcock goes of course I want him in Toronto. But I really just cannot grasp what would posses him to even consider the Sabres? With McDavid different story, but like really? Detroit will ways trump Buffalo.There's going to be a giant check in Buffalo, and with less wackiness than in Toronto. Plus, they're ready to start improving in a big way right now. Toronto is probably not done being bad, and he may think Detroit's window is closing.The check will be equal or greater in Toronto or Detroit. His legacy won't mean much more of anything by winning in Buffalo. are you kidding? Buffalo famously hasn't won anything since the Bills in the early 60's. If he brings a championship to that city they'll love him forever. Yes the city would love him, but you can't honestly think winning in Buffalo can out do winning in Toronto.

Sport Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 You're all waiting with bated breath. The Blue Jackets have named a captain for the first time since trading Rick Nash. Nick Foligno will be the guy to lift the cup in a Blue Jackets sweater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randyc Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Great, as if the coverage of the Leafs wasn't enough already in Canada. This Babcock signing is going to make it even worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mammoth 8 yr contract believed to be around $50 million.God dammit....Remember when people actually wanted to come to Detroit teams instead of leaving them as soon as possible? First Max $cherzer, then Ndamukong $uh, and now Babcock. At least he brought Detroit a championship before he left (something $cherzer and $uh failed to do).

TorinK92 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Welp, I knew Babcock would be staying in the division, just hoped it wasn't for the Leafs.It's not like he'll jump in and make the Leafs a playoff team right away though, watch for some Leafs fans calling for him to be sacked within 18 months.

chrysleraspen08 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 As for Babcock, I could see this being really good for the Leafs. It's hard to say just yet though. No matter who they hire, it normally ends the same way almost all the time.

GFB Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 If Babcock had stayed, chances were Blashill was going to be a top candidate somewhere else. For 35-40 million less, I'm ok with Blashill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigers6884 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I wish Babcock luck, don't get me wrong.I'm glad that the Wings will begin a new dynasty and he'll be able to prove himself in a new town. I don't think that'll happen for him in Toronto though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 So Buffalo has lost out on Babcock, McLellan, and presumably Blashill. Do they give Paul MacLean another shot, or does he abhor youth too much to take the job? Is Bylsma a lock for New Jersey? Do they dare give Hitchcock one last gig? ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
