WildCard Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 We better win a GD Cup for that kinda scratch. Really though. At this point, with two tanks and this, I'd be upset with anything less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sicknfla Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 For that kind of money Murray better hope they are REAL good friends. Any power struggle down the road and Murray has no prayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kruppstahl Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 $50 million overall K amount! LOL. That's like $6 million per for 6 or 8 years, with $2 to $14 million signing bonus. Pegula made Babcock an offer he can't refuse. :w00t: :worthy: :beer: For that kind of money Murray better hope they are REAL good friends. Any power struggle down the road and Murray has no prayer.

TrueBlueGED Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Uhhhh.... Matthew Coller @MatthewWGR A source close to the situation tells me the Sabres' offer is "in the range of $50 million dollars" Has to be 8 years. What in the actual hell. I mean, I think he's the best and it's not my money, so I'll be happy if it works, but that is one hefty coaching contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Bill Gates bought Da Vinci's Leicester Codex for nearly 31 million clams was that too much for a book price? Or just right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Ken Holland really need Babcock for the 14 years of consecutive playoffs and multiple Cups before Babcock came to Detroit?

Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 So are we going to nickname him Babs, Cocky, MB, M-Babs, Mikey, or something else? If he comes and wins a Cup....whatever he wants. If he wins 2 playoff series in 5 years....The Holland Tulip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kruppstahl Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 For sure. I know Joel Quenneville's mouth is probably watering for his next contract negotiation. Oh that is entirely possible. The consequences associated with this deal, should it go through, are an entirely different topic of conversation! If Babcock comes here for a deal worth $50 Million, I am sure the collective NHL ownership will gasp in equal amounts surprise and anger. That only makes this dish a bit sweeter as a Sabres fan! :w00t: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaches are important, but even the best ones won't do ###### without a good roster. Well now you are changing the topic of debate. I agree the horses are much more important than the guy coaching the horses. Let me state this: Babcock re-defines the rules governing this sort of thing. I think that highly of him. That doesn't mean I am right or that you or anyone else should agree with me. Babcock represents the top echelon of NHL hockey and gives the Sabres organization an heir of legitimacy it would not have without him. Period. What is that worth? Tim Murray doesn't do that, as much as I love the guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
