MBHockey13 Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 I totally think the Sabres and Babcock had a contract last night and he just said he needed to sleep on it and talk it over with his family and it was just between signing the contract or staying in Detroit.Then the Leafs called Babcock and Babcock basically broke his word and the Sabres were like F you. If that was the case then I DEFINITELY don't want him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 We won't hear, not with any authority. Another one we'll be arguing about for years, each with our own perceived facts. At least you're admitting from the start they're just perceived facts ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Welp. At least Harrington will get his presser now. Right? Or nah? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matter2003 Posted May 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Oh no: LeBrun saying babcock to Toronto. They have a few nice pieces, but they are severly hamstrung by bad contracts and have nowhere near the depth of young talent we do. They are not contending for a Stanley Cup anytime soon even with Babcock, IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 I assumed that was to talk extension. Maybe it was "thanks for your service?" Nah. This has to be about money, and control. I think it was about Toronto vs Buffalo -- both in terms of big-city glamor and in terms of playing on the biggest NHL stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabresFanInRochester Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 I certainly hope not. I'm with you on that. I don't want Ball-smack. I don't view him as a good coach, just fortunate to be surrounded by good players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 We all have to read the tea leaves. You're staring at coffee grounds, though. No matter now many actual legit reasons Babcock will give to explain his decision, you'll be convinced it's because Tim Murray lacks the proper personality. GO SABRES!!!

... Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Just like giving the NHL the finger on coaches' salaries thanks to the draft lottery, I hope Babs learns the hard way why TO is a talent vampire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 I think it was about Toronto vs Buffalo -- both in terms of big-city glamor and in terms of playing on the biggest NHL stage. I will say, I'm going to greatly enjoy Babcock vs. the Toronto media 3 years down the line when the team is still lousy. Should get some solid one-liners outta this at least.

Fixed that. You may be right: Maybe the TO was a better fit, all things considered. In which case, I look forward to rolling that team for years to come.

I'll listen, but I don't expect the Sabres or Babcock would ever tell tales out of school. Bottom line, Murray had Babcock actually negotiating a contract; money wasn't an object; how they would work together was widely reported as what they were hung up on; Babcock goes to Toronto.

Kruppstahl Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 that does appear to be the perceived facts. I believe we pulled the offer after it was becoming obvious it was a bidding war Yes but you also wrote that my suggestion that Babcock could go to Toronto was "funny". What a bitch an hour or so can make, huh?! Just sayin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 If the insane amount of money Pegula wanted to offer wasn't good enough then fine. You want a guy who wants to be here. Remember Pegula went after Gruden and Cowher first, then got Rex. IMO Rex is a better hire than either of them. Sometimes the best thing for you is when you DON'T get what you think you want.

sabresith Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Toronto, lmao. Have fun building a team for the first 5years of your contract. Oh yeah don't forget probably the worst prospect pool in all of the nhl. They do not have one player I would even want on this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
