inkman Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 all this delay is just posturing. By who and for what purpose?
LGR4GM Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 Regarding the multiple-thread issue: when the Wawrow thread appeared, I considered merging it into this one, but decided against it because this one considers all coaching possibilities while that one is Babcock-only. Once we have a resolution on Babcock, the prediction thread will be closed, and if we get the right answer on Babcock, this thread will be closed as well. Until then, I think there are valid reasons to keep them all going. Please PM PAFan with all thoughts on this issue. Can we change the Warow thread title to Babcock watch or something? It has morphed well beyond that original tweet.
MBHockey13 Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger 32s32 seconds ago Toronto and Buffalo in bidding war for Babcock. No decision yet. Hearing Red Wings final offer was 5 years at $4 million per. I have an enormous amount of respect for Dreger and he's one of my favorites - but I'm not buying this. I think there is an announcement for the Sabres today.
Wyldnwoody44 Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 McKenzie says buffalo out on babcock Aaron ward reporting he won't return to Detroit
Mustache of God Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 Radio is saying he's not going back to the Wings so...Toronto? I am crushed.
TrueBlueGED Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 So if Detroit is out on Babcock, I'm going to go ahead and assume that they're going to promote Blashill. I wanted Babcock > McLellan > Blashill > somebody new...I mean, seems to me my top 3 are out. Wonder if Drane gets his wish.
Drunkard Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 I'm waiting for them to announce Battista as the new head coach.
beerme1 Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 I guess this means Leafs got their coach and GM today. Goes against what Babcock was saying.
Huckleberry Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) So with babcock out here is my wishlist. Dineen Blashill Cunneyworth Richardson Edited May 20, 2015 by Heimdall
Hoss Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 With Babcock likely to Toronto and Blashill likely getting promoted in Detroit the attention seems like it will obviously turn to Richardson and Bylsma.
WildCard Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 Well Disco Dan it is. Either him or Richardson
Hoss Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 Also, this will be the first time since July 21, 1997 that the Sabres didn't hire the first and only coaching candidate they talked to.
Huckleberry Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 With Babcock likely to Toronto and Blashill likely getting promoted in Detroit the attention seems like it will obviously turn to Richardson and Bylsma. Might as well talk to other coaches as well. Not really a fan of Bylsma myself.
Stoner Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 Well Disco Dan it is. Either him or Richardson Dan also won a Cup. Richardson can be Nolan II.
dudacek Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 I wonder how prepared the Sabres are for this phase. If they have been doing their homework, their second choice should be in the fold fairly quickly.
MBHockey13 Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 The narrative says power mad and socially awkward Tim Murray names himself head coach with Battista as his lone assistant. Irbe stays as goalie coach.GM&HCTM also coaches the Amerks remotely by drone.
spndnchz Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 Also, this will be the first time since July 21, 1997 that the Sabres didn't hire the first and only coaching candidate they talked to. And the week of the 8 year anniversary of Drury and Briere final game in Buffalo.
Hoss Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 And the week of the 8 year anniversary of Drury and Briere final game in Buffalo. :( At least mine was somewhat neutral on the depression scale.
WildCard Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 Dan also won a Cup. Richardson can be Nolan II.I'll take Dan and his experience. Plus I'm interested to see if he can validate GoDD's trust in him
