Huckleberry Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 Oy. If he's getting $8M, then he's gonna have more than HC in his title, yeah? I was never down for a HC + de facto GM 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. Quote

TrueBlueGED Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 The WGR callers right now are far more of a tire fire than the Toronto hockey situation is. Good lord. Quote
Huckleberry Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 Still nothing official though ... :P Quote
Derrico Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 Hoss this by far is your best post ever That was from a twitter account (unless it was Hoss but I doubt it). It's on HF Boards Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 Seriously. The reports of $6M made me a little uneasy. $7M or $8M? See ya. Doesn't move the needle for me--once you triple a coach's salary, quadrupling is just like whatever. I wouldn't have blinked at 10. Quote

Hoss Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 LeBrun: It's not San Jose, Sharks for sure are OUT on Babcock. Sharks focused on long list of other candidates right now Quote
Huckleberry Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 Doesn't move the needle for me--once you triple a coach's salary, quadrupling is just like whatever. I wouldn't have blinked at 10. That is because its not your money :p Quote
LGR4GM Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 Pierre LeBrun @Real_ESPNLeBrun 2m2 minutes ago It's not San Jose, Sharks for sure are OUT on Babcock. Sharks focused on long list of other candidates right now Quote
Stoner Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 Doesn't move the needle for me--once you triple a coach's salary, quadrupling is just like whatever. I wouldn't have blinked at 10. Exactly. Money wasn't the issue. People are grasping. Quote
Huckleberry Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 Exactly. Money wasn't the issue. People are grasping. 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. Quote
ddaryl Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 Exactly. Money wasn't the issue. People are grasping. ROTFLMAO the Sabres were not going to raise there offer any more. They were not going ot be used in a bidding war. Their offer was more than substantial... LMAO I hope Murray gets a 50 year extension just to piss you off Quote
LGR4GM Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 I think Babcock went back to Toronto after Buffalo thought they were getting him... and said then said done. Quote
TheFunPolice Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 How important is a hockey coach, honestly? I am more of a football fan than a hockey fan, so forgive me if that's blasphemy or something. In football, coaches are extremely important, calling plays on offense, defense, and special teams, challenging plays, making hundreds of decisions each week. On the other hand, I always feel like in hockey it's more player-driven with the coach adding a lot less than an NFL coach adds. Am I wrong on that? Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 Exactly. Money wasn't the issue. People are grasping. Don't put words into my mouth. I meant "me" as in me personally...it's not my money, It could have been about the money to the team, that it gets to the point where yes Babcock is the best, but he's not twice as good. Quote
Johnny DangerFace Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 Exactly. Money wasn't the issue. People are grasping. Others are grasping? Lol ok Quote
JJFIVEOH Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 $8 million a year for a hockey coach? LOL No thanks. Sorry but he is not worth it. You can find a good coach to work for half that who can also win you a cup. He wasn't worth $5mil either. Quote
Huckleberry Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 going to take a 2 hour nap, blues rumoured to be still in it. Quote
Kruppstahl Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 Well if Buffalo is out, STL is out, SJ is out... I'm guessing TO. Then we have the tweet about the TO corporate jet revved up and ready to fly to Detroit and all that. Quote
JJFIVEOH Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 Sabres fans should be happy, he's going to turn out to be a bust. Quote
MBHockey13 Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 Murray's a pimp. He never could have out-thought Babcock. But I didn't know until this day that it was Battista all along. Quote
Huckleberry Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 Sabres fans should be happy, he's going to turn out to be a bust. I can see him getting fired in Toronto in 1 year :D Quote
Stoner Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 We didn't get . So you're mad at me. Fine. If it makes you feel better. I suggest that everyone, myself included, wait for some solid information, if any is to come, which I doubt. Passions are high. Quote
SabresFanInRochester Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 Well if Buffalo is out, STL is out, SJ is out... I'm guessing TO. Then we have the tweet about the TO corporate jet revved up and ready to fly to Detroit and all that. St. Louis is still in. Quote
