Babcock is a very good coach and certainly an upgrade if the Sabres get him. In my opinion though, the success of the Wings has not been as much about Babcock as about the Detroit front office. Now if TM can replace himself with Holland, we'll really have something. Git er done!

Why would they want to replace Murray? This organization is stacked with talent, and much of it is young and moldable.

Per John Vogl - contract rumor 5 years, $16m:

 

 

Yeah, that would be a pay cut from what Detroit is currently offering. The execution on this one needs some work.

I have to agree. Wings scouting system has been second to none as well. Dallas scooped that guy (Nil) away last year.

I was hearing $6 million + per season, which combined with a presumed long term is what it would take to bring Babcock to Buffalo.

 

Sounds like as of 5:13pm Eastern Time this is still far from certain one way or the other.

 

Let's hope we can rope him in.

Bastard. I should have known not to click, that amount is about $2 mil a year shy of what I think it will end up being.

Yep here it is

@MatthewWGR: A source close to the situation tells me the Sabres' offer is "in the range of $50 million dollars"

@BuffNewsVogl

Coaching source says Mike Babcock likes the fact that Tim Murray isn't a daily micro-manager and is often scouting rather than with team.

 

But, the Buffalo News said he has to be at more Sabres games - like a real GM.

Source: Red Wings almost certainly OUT on Babcock. $ quote: "Mike Ilitch won't get in a bidding war with what he believes is his already."

More.."The Sabres have to screw this up now. They have to back down on what they've offered, or MB has to keep pushing for more, more, more"
