TheRussianRocket. Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 @DarrenDreger: Source says Babcock told Blues 2 days ago he was out. Things change? If not, the Leafs may have won the sweepstakes @DarrenDreger: Sources say Mike Babcock has been hired by the Maple Leafs. Mammoth 8 yr contract believed to be around $50 million. Holy frack! Out of all the places Mike, you go to TO! Why!!!! You'll only tarnish your legacy there. Best part is TO fans will assume Babcock will all of a sudden turn bronze into gold with their players.

Remy Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Non confirmed. Jumping the gun quite a bit on a speculative tweet from a twit. I agree with The Minister. It may well go down this way, but it does not appear to be official just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Vanderhoek Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 From an outsiders point of view I would wonder why leaving Detroit would be an option hockey-wise, but as far as life outside the rink and family considerations there are a lot of tempting options I am sure.

TheRussianRocket. Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 On a side note, glad for my Wings as it means Blashill will likely be promoted to HC and we won't lose him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Renaud Lavoie @renlavoietva · 9m9 minutes ago Where Mike Babcock will go ? All eyes turned on SJ, but Toronto still a possibility. Wonder if Brendan Shanahan plan since day 1 will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRussianRocket. Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 @Real_ESPNLeBrun: It's not San Jose, Sharks for sure are OUT on Babcock. Sharks focused on long list of other candidates right now So if the Wings and Sabres were out earlier today, Blues were out and talks with Hitchcock got on about the future, and now Sharks are out....TO it is.

Down by the River Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Why do people do this? I mean it is likely he'll go to the Leafs, but you're not a journalist, being first doesn't reward you in any way. Nobody is under the impression you are an 'insider'.

Bissurnette Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Not official yet. You want to be the first one to make a thread about it, but you have to wait until they actually sign the contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOgRook Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 He only did this thread to try and beat Vintage to it when it happens.. Seeing as it isn't official, this should just be a discussion thread. Pretty sure Sabre beat you to it lol good effort though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 He's chasing the money attempting to challenge himself. $8 million per makes him the highest paid coach in NHL history.....after Tortorella of course (if we factor in actual days worked ) He's going to fail fail and fail some more with the Leafs before things turn around as he A: Doesn't have the quality vets he did in Detroit B: Doesn't have those vets that were coached under Bowman C: Doesn't have the support staff D: Doesn't have ANY developed youth and we've not seen him do anything yet in regards to developing youth, the Detroit system did it for him Good luck babcock. You're going to need it. But 2 or 3 straight seasons of top 5-10 picks will help I bet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
