Buffalo is a long ways from being good. expansion teams have been better than they were the last 2 years.

I'd be pretty surprised if mike ends up there

Many Buffalo Fans are talking playoffs (They are crazy). I am hoping for Out of the bottom 3, and a lottery win to get Matthews.

if the Leafs are pushing hard for MB.. I wonder who is driving it.. Mainly just shanny?

He is a good coach no doubt, but is he what the leafs need at this point?

Somehow, this will end with Babcock taking an assistant coach's job in Columbus while stating that he really wanted to coach David Clarkson

@DarrenDreger, Wings final offer is 5-years, $20M... Speculation suggests both Leafs and Sabres coming in at more than $5M per yr.

The great be all and end all Hall hasn't even hit 30 goals yet. Seguin is light years ahead pal.

So you're saying we should call him....

I'm not sure why "he isn't what they need". Just because you are in a rebuild you don't want a bad, or new coach. No matter what, you should always want the best coach available..

for the guy who stated Janet was the reason Gretzky didnt come to the leafs i really dont think you are in any position to chirp anyone.
- Dozzer


i think I'm in the position to chirp whoever I want, it's called freedom of speech bud. Just like you have that same right.

I'm just going by what I read from the article with him.

Going at it backwards. Hire a coach, then find a gm that will bow to what he wants.

Detroit has a very good coach in Jeff Blashill in Grand Rapids. If MB stays, Blashill will get an NHL job. If he goes, Blashill will be in Detroit, and the wings get a 3rd rounder for MB.

Already have a bunch of kids. Also will have more after the draft. Even more once 81, 3, 42, & 19 are gone.

Here's the Leafs' offer:



Here's a pen, Mr. Babcock:



Just fill in what you want, and we'll sign it.

And help yourself to a Burkie Dog.

Depending on which way the wind blows, Tavares is balancing on the Mississauga-Oakville border. But he is listed as Mississauga.

There is an S in there, alas at the end.

Buffalo is garbage. Horrible roster and no prospects. Eichel is good but not Malkin or Crosby good.

I still think that Buffalo takes Strome..

I don't understand why I would get banned...

it's like the Refs abuse their powers worse than cops.

thats a fair answer.

the leafs are just such an unknown at this point.. No GM, we dont know who will be back next year.

maybe they sign him and then fire him right away to get a draft pick compensation
might as well buy draft picks
