LGR4GM Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Is this pretty much your hope in every post, for every situation? Yea PA seems to hate Tim Murray with unabashed enthusiasm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 That's it? No need to do an autopsy as to why he wouldn't come? I will be interested to hear what the deal-breaker(s)/-maker(s) was/were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddaryl Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) Nice job, Tim. Hope his ass gets ###### fired. Why ? I hope he gets a big fat promotion. I love me some TM Sounds to me that Buffalo pulled the offer Edited May 20, 2015 by ddaryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X. Benedict Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) That's it? No need to do an autopsy as to why he wouldn't come? I thought it was a coin flip. I think Murray got us close. We haven't lost anything here. (other than a bidding war). Edited May 20, 2015 by X. Benedict Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBHockey13 Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Oh well, his career will die in Toronto. Seriously - that team is a disaster and years away from winning. Plus, they don't even have a GM. Honestly, if the Sabres and Babcock pretty much had a contract in place, and he was deciding between taking the contract from the Sabres or staying in Detroit, and then Toronto came out of nowhere and kept trying to drive up the price, then if the Sabres just walked away they did the right thing. That's pretty crappy if Babcock told them last night it's between staying in Detroit where his family is happy or going to the Sabres, and then tried to use Toronto. What if Babcock called the Sabres bluff and they told him "Fine. Bye." Now he's stuck in Toronto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Say a fair offer to a qualified guy like Bylsma was 5 years and $12 million. If I'm him, I laugh in their face. You just offered $50 million to a guy I'm probably better than. I walk no matter what. Go to SanJose for similar money. If you call back at 5 for $15-20.....ok, I'm listening. Look at it this way.....Pegula just offered $5000 for a seat in the Club Level at the redline for the Stanley Cup and would be turned down. He comes and offers the guy 1 section over $1200 for his seat. Luke Richardson is up in the 300's and he will probably settle for that at $400. Between Wawrow saying Bylsma could be a candidate yesterday, mentioning him the first time in almost a year.....and GR asking Custance if a team should be able to collect Revenue Sharing while being able to offer unlimited funds to a coach.....it looks like us stupid jerks with our jerky thoughts are actually stupid for giving up our opinions for free. PA....maybe we should start up a podcast. Bylsma can laugh all he wants and I wish him luck in San Jose, for "similar" money. If he's really better than Babcock, he should have no trouble getting Babcock money from somebody else, though. Surely, he can convince other teams as much as he's convinced you. You seem to be saying that no matter who we end up targeting next, that he will laugh and turn us down because we were willing to overpay for the best candidate out there and that we should be willing to offer the same overpayment to anyone else. It just doesn't work that way. GO SABRES!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
