I want a CUP, so I want Babcock.
- Sabresfan88

We all want the same thing but IMO, Babcock stays with the Wings.

What is so special about this Luke Richardson guy?
What can he offer the Sabres that any other coach can not do?
I don't want just any other bum to become the next head coach of the Sabres.

There's nothing that unique, but at a quick glance he's done a decent job with young players. Plus like Homie said, he's Murray's guy (puppet)

Doesn't matter who the coach is, unless we bring in better players we won't win.

I think Richardson is a good choice, considering the youth on the team. However, I have a gut feeling it's going to be Babcock. My ESP scares me sometimes.

Imo babcock won't be staying in Detroit. I just don't think he would be so coy during the dreger interview if he was staying. Why wouldn't he just squash all the speculation if he was happy with Detroit.

Very good point. I think/hope he is coming to Buffalo because Detroit isn't going to pony up $5 - $6 million (or whatever) that the Sabres will. Now, if it turns out that the Red Wings are given a chance to match - and they do - I say he stays in Detroit. Why move the family, change bosses, change organizations etc if the incumbent will pay you what you want. Of course I hope the lure of Jack, Risto, Girgs et al is the difference maker.

He's concerned about their aging stars (Detroit). Toronto has yet to tear it down, before they build it up. He doesn't want that. The Sabres have the pipeline filled. Yes, he would have just signed with Detroit by now. All signs point to the Sabres.

only one coach won a cup with multiple teams in the history of modern NHL



I honestly doubt Detroit matches 6 mil per, as they really havn't won sh@t over the last 5 years, even though I blame that more on the GM

- homiedclown

So should we have stuck with Nolan. He hasn't won a cup yet

Why would he make a lateral move?

He won't, especially if we hire Babcock. No room for advancement.

Tyler Johnson is Pavel Bure v 2.0. The most dynamic American Center since Modano and Roenick.

My guess is Babcock stays in Detroit. If he leaves, Buffalo has to beat out Toronto, right?
