Hopefully next year Hutch is ready, although he is kind of the number 1 now anyway, but Hutch, Sanchez, Stroman and Buerle. Why they let Happ go I'll never know. Janssen was done when they didn't make a trade and now no closer... AA has been brutal with pitching, mediocre with fielders, brutal with pitching...

Flyers really went old with the Evgeny Medvedev signing....

Hi stee

ya now that babcock is in toronto he's just a byproduct of detroit's system. he's actually not even good.
- daeth

He is a good coach.. but his best were with Lidstrom and PD in his prime

Lidstrom is the best Dman..umm pretty much ever..

Did the Babcock signing surprise you?
- mykokes

Yes.

As I already said I guessed he would stay in Detroit with SJ, Edmonton and Buffalo being the next favorites. And also as I said it would be up to whoever swung the biggest moneycock for babcock.

Its not that savvy. Its in the rules. Everyone knows about it. Edmonton may have to compensate SJ. GMs are a 2nd rounder. Coaches a 3rd. Have you guys not been paying attention the last month??

And so it is. And wow, everyone knew about it! What a jackass I am for not knowing the NHL compensation rules for coach poaching that were reported 'from sources' by Elliotte Friedman 6 weeks ago!

And what do yo mean 'may'? Of course Edmonton will have to give SJ a 3rd. Everyone knows that.

If that was the case he woulda gone to buffalo, received the same pay cheques with longer term, live cheaper, and not pay high taxes.

i didn't think he was gonna go for the biggest payday. knew he'd get paid but i did think there would be other factors that came into play.

You're contradicting yourself. You didn't think the Leafs would be in the top 4 for teams swining the biggest moneycock? Everyone knows that.
