    until we get a winner, it seems pretty spot on.

    Toronto back in?
    http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=7...d=nhl:topheads
    Mike Babcock had not announced a decision on his future early Wednesday as TSN reported the Buffalo Sabres and Toronto Maple Leafs were in a bidding war for the services of the Detroit Red Wings coach.

    Re: Babcock officially becomes a UFA

    According to @TSNAaronWard, DET is out on Babcock. BUF is out. That leaves TOR, STL and SJ.

    Re: Babcock officially becomes a UFA

    Yes, this means Blashill will be promoted to Wings new coach.
    We lose out on Babcock. My hate for Toronto increases.
    Hitchcock will stay in St. Louis. Bylsma will go to SJ, probably.
    I think Richardson is the choice.

    Re: Babcock officially becomes a UFA

    I hope we spend the saved money from this guy on a better Bills coaching staff, $7 M a season for hockey coach ?? F-that, that's why I even questioned it as well. This is astronomically too much for the NHL, which is a tiny blip on the TV radar in the U.S. Let's find us another retread from the past who will cost us a few hockey puck bags and a dinner in comparison.

    He has potential.

    We like potential.

    Not the end of the world. The Sabres aren't going to end up with another Ron Rolston behind the bench.

    not at all. and it quells my worries of the sabres trying to bypass the rebuild the right way and trading away good youth for win now players. when your team is going to be centered around a 19 year old rookie, you try to find pieces that will grow with him.

    Don't forget the potential that comes with the 3rd round pick the Sabres did not give up for signing Babcock.
