Realtor Rod Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Gotta think Buffalo. Way less hype and he'll have studs in Echiel, Reinhart and the Girgo. Not to mention the countless other young guys. He would have a ton of control as well. Don't forget EKane and Cosy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realtor Rod Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 If he goes to Toronto or Buffalo he takes a franchise at rock bottom (assuming) and could look like a hero just making the post season. I would go to buffalo,their farm system and young players are going to be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sestito Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 If I was him, (assuming relatively similar pay offers), I would take over Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Sabres? Really? BUFFALO, N.Y. — A person familiar with the discussions tells The Associated Press that Mike Babcock is in contract talks with the Buffalo Sabres to potentially become their next head coach. The person said negotiations were taking place by phone between Babcock and Sabres general manager Tim Murray on Tuesday afternoon. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the talks are private. Babcock is still under contract with the Detroit Red Wings through June 30. The Red Wings, however, have granted Babcock permission to speak with other teams. He visited Buffalo and met with Murray and Sabres owner Terry Pegula on May 10. Babcock has not ruled out staying put in Detroit, and said he wanted to make a decision on his future by Wednesday. http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/source-babcock-in-contract-talks-with-sabres/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neversummer Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 $5o million dollar contract for Babs with Buffalo. For how long ... it kind of matters if it is for 1 year or 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowgary Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 For how long ... it kind of matters if it is for 1 year or 10. Matthew Coller @matthewWGR from twitter says $50 mill, did not mention length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Man, smart if he goes to Buff. Coupla' hard yrs of labour to renovate an old palace; then it'll be luxury-living for a decade+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
