If its 7 - 8 million i think it is, Even Pegula at one point will say , enough is enough i can't pay more than 6 mill a year for a coach without upsetting the entire league.
I don't mind that a coach has a say in player personell and his roster for obvious reasons, but a gm should always have the final say when it comes to trades.
But the way it was portrayed in the media of what babcock wanted i doubt he really wanted a gm + coach title.
was thinking the same, if he comes he is a moneywhore i guess.
Personally i think if he choses for the sabres, its because he likes the project he is coming for not only the money.
Anyone getting raped on a popular tv show, (woman, man, farmanimals) will cause alot of anger. But it was not needed to portray this, it already was implied pretty much.
And rape victims certainly won't be happy about seeing such a thing.
One of the reasons im not reading the books at the moment, colleague of mine is as pissed of as you by that last scene.
Said he can handle that they strayed away from the books now and then but that last scene pissed him off. was completely uncalled for and out of character.
