Mac's the man. I guess that ends our discussion?

Well, Buffalo. Pegula is apparently willing to pay just about any price and between Girgenson, Reinhart and Eichel they'll be starting off with some really nice pieces down the middle as well as other interesting ones(Grigorenko, Ristolainen, Zadorov). Then they've got picks 21, 31 and 51 in this year's draft so...that looks like a hell of a starting point to build a team.
Al14 said:Pegula, or no Pegula, it's still Buffalo! I'd stay in Detroit before I'd move to Buffalo! LOL

You know none of these guys live in the city proper, right?
Al14 said:I meant move to Buffalo in a coaching sense!
Al14 said:However, Buffalo is likely a better place to live than Detroit at the moment.
McKenzie says his instincts tell him Babcock stays in Detroit but he's not ruling out the Sabres. He's probably on the mark.RedLeaf said:Deebo said:McKenzie said Babcock is "definitely not coming to Toronto" on TSN 690 in Montreal.

Al14 said:If Babcock wants to become the most revered, and, the most worshiped NHL coach, the team to do that with is the Toronto Maple Leafs. This is the team that has one of, if not the largest, fan bases in the world. Taking this team from nothing, to winning a Stanley Cup, would elevate him to hero status very quickly...

By TML fans perhaps, but not by other cities' fans. I think that era's long gone.

It's apparently between Detroit and Buffalo and Buffalo has gone big and Detroit doesn't want to get into the bidding war.

Friedman made it sound like that was Detroit's offer back in January. If that offer was still brought up in negotiations in the last couple of weeks, I'd be insulted if I were Babcock.
