Babcock reached out to the Leafs after speaking with Mark Hunter early this week. Sounds like Hunter was key in this decision. Oh, and Lums is a lemon

I would assume babcock had some say to be honest.
- Lee Denault

1 would hope

please, roll with Kadri-Holland as 1-2 . Give Panik full time top 6 minutes. Sign Stoll and Stewart or Williams. Sign Oduya. Re-sign Booth.

JVR-Kadri-Stewart/Williams
Booth - Holland - Panik
Bailey-Stoll-Komarov
Leivo-Carrick-Kozun
Sill

Gardiner-Polak
Rielly-Oduya
Erixon-Robidas
Brennen
- MCharisma91

That lineup will suck BIGTIME

I hope folks don't go nuts if the Leafs aren't instantly good.


Babcock can't score or play D remember!



- robin_steele264

Yeah, as good a hire as this may be, let's not go crazy.
He had pretty good players in Detroit, but didn't do much of anything in the playoffs the last few years...

Patience, friends... patience.

Hunter

So Babcock reached out to the Leafs!?

"Hey guys, I'm looking around for a new team to coach and I spoke to Hunter and he was like 'dude - we don't have a coach right now!' and it was like a lightbulb appeared over both our heads at the same time. You think you guys would be interested? I can send you a resume."

Who brought in Hunter?

Some moron who doesn't have any experience and is doing a terrible job.

please, roll with Kadri-Holland as 1-2 . Give Panik full time top 6 minutes. Sign Stoll and Stewart or Williams. Sign Oduya. Re-sign Booth.

Everytime the Leafs hit the FA Market button it should shock them. with the force of 1000 suns.

Rebuild properly. (frank) Free agents.... Unless Stamkos.

You guys think he would be hired if he was named SmellyCock

he was completely wilting under the Babcock death stare
- TheThrill

Like when your dog did something bad and he won't look at you after because he knows he facked up

I hope folks don't go nuts if the Leafs aren't instantly good.

I don`t expect the Leafs to be a better team. I do expect their give a poop meter to be higher though

Not a chance. Shanny sticks to the plan, Babcock signs on for it.

That's July 2016. Next summer
- TheThrill

woo hoo a year to settle in

Some moron who doesn't have any experience and is doing a terrible job.

People are stupid on purpose I think.

8 years, JFJ, 8 years. He knows his role is to establish the team culture and develop the team into a winner. No need to panic.

Hey... Stammer.

We got Babcock....
ehhhh

after 1 year.

People are stupid on purpose I think.
- Lee Denault

After a month.

Babcock said himself just a few weeks ago that he had "plenty of say in personnel" in Detroit.
- Iggysbff

...and in the end they didn't get Phaneuf.


So...

- TheThrill

He already done more than NoNuss

That lineup will suck BIGTIME
- WaterBoy

so? the point is to get the young guys playing instead of trading them away for people like phaneuf

You money tossing sons of female doges

First Clarkson now this.

Congrats on the hire

But there's got to be some fear that a top 5 pick in 16' might have just got a little less likely.

On a positive note - Babcock himself said you can't win without great young talent down the middle of the ice. I don't think he'll prevent the Leafs from 'rebuilding'.
- The Law

not really...we will have an AHL roster next year and possibly the next few

after 1 year.

- Lee Denault

He shouldn't be crowned good or bad yet...let's see how we look in 5 years.
