We set the terms. Terms that make him the highest paid coach x3 in the league. That would be like you negotiating for a car on the lot at the dealer and me swooping in and taking it from you at 3x's what its value is.
- Buffalo--Sabres

Leafs said they were willing to make him the highest paid coach in the league by a wide margin a while ago.

And in your analogy, we're talking about a one of a kind car, meaning the market value is whatever someone will pay for it, and you still were willing to pay that massive amount, and still didn't get the car you wanted.

Which means you're the female dog. But not the Leaf's female dog. The car dealer's female dog.

Strike three?

He's overrated as poop. He's an AHL coach that lucked into Crosby/Malkin and a Stanley cup his first year coaching. People put way too much stock in that.
- Buffalo--Sabres

Oh boy.

So Babcock didn't luck into Datsyuk or Zetterberg or Lidstrom?

This is just getting silly.

The Sabres got F'd here there's no question. Babcock is human scum. That being said even if we get a mediocre coach we'll still be at least two years ahead of the Leafs.

Truth is MLSE is still butthurt over the Bills deal and wanted to teach us/Pegula a lesson by massively overpaying what we were going to overpay for. Boy did they ever teach us a good one.

Strike three?

Jets blogger is talking about Burmistrov being offer sheeted by Buffalo...

What do you think?
- Stripes77

I like Burmistrov, what are the odds the Jets don't match a low offer sheet though?

I thought pegula always gets his guy

What's so funny, talk that S$$T on Garth's blog he said it.

Is the car dealer the league in this analogy or am i completely lost

IMO:

Leafs current roster > Sabres current roster

Sabre prospects > Leaf prospects

100-1

Sure, tell me how great Bylsma is. Starting from season 10-11 right to his current status of being unemployed. Is that Crosby's fault too?

They beat the Islanders, Senators(twice) and the Blue Jackets barely in playoff series and no one else. I'm hoping we can aim higher.

IMO:

Leafs current roster > Sabres current roster

Sabre prospects > Leaf prospects
- rmiethaner

Definitely a fair assessment. Lets see what the Leafs can get for some of their roster pieces.

- Sabresfan-365

Easy way to do it is:
Find out a deal and what compensation it would cost to sign him to that.
Call Winnipeg and offer that exact comp pick for him and then sign.

No offer sheet, no butt-hurt ness.

That's good I hit the report button a thousand times

Do you think that Babcock will want to trade Kessel or Phaneuf now?

Neither Babcock nor Byslma have a cup since 2010. Neither has lead a team passed the conference Semi-finals.....

Definitely a fair assessment. Lets see what the Leafs can get for some of their roster pieces.
- Feeling Glucky?

Maybe Babcock wants to keep Kessel and Phaneuf.
