What is the whole letter of compensation thing about? He's under contract until July 1st. Detroit is entitled to ask for compensation from any team that signs him before then.

The team that signs Babcock (if he leaves the Wings) will owe a 3rd round pick to Detroit in one of the next three years. It's a small price to pay for a great coach.

26CornerBlitz Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 @MattBarnaby3636 Quote Was told by a source that Babcock is a done deal.... Thing is I don't trust the source. So really no update To Buffalo that is. FWIW
Doc Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Ouch. I doubt that source will be talking to Barnaby ever again.
May Day 10 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 I dont know. If he is meeting with San Jose, and maybe St Louis this week, I wouldnt consider anything a done deal.
26CornerBlitz Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 http://espn.go.com/blog/nhl/post/_/i...n-by-wednesday Quote To me, though, I feel like it’s Detroit or Buffalo as the front-runners. Babcock would get a healthy raise from the Red Wings but certainly less than what he could get in Buffalo or Toronto. With the Sabres, there’s a relationship with GM Tim Murray that dates back to their Anaheim Ducks days together. For the Sabres, it’s plain to see they are a team on the rise with a very bright future.
Dante Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Canada made Russia look pretty bad yesterday. Here's a nice goal by Sabre Ennis. I think he likes the big ice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Byyvf22P2rU
ChevyVanMiller Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Has anyone been able to buy the Hockey News with Eichel on the cover anywhere in WNY? I've looked in a half dozens stores with no luck. It can be ordered online, but with a $6 shipping charge. If you've found it, please let me know where.

So, you'll spend $6 in gas looking for it, but you don't want to pay the $6 shipping charge?!? Are you related to EII?!?

26CornerBlitz Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) @BuffNewsVogl Sabres feel they've done everything they could in their attempt to land Mike Babcock.

Rubes Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 I'm guessing he wants to come to Buffalo, but he's having a hard time bringing his family around to the idea.
