26CornerBlitz Posted May 19, 2015 Author Posted May 19, 2015 this is a game changer Babcock as Sabres HC will help get Good UFAs in Blue and Gold.
26CornerBlitz Posted May 19, 2015 Author Posted May 19, 2015 @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.
Bob in Mich Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 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!

Git er done! Why would they want to replace Murray? This organization is stacked with talent, and much of it is young and moldable.
Bob in Mich Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Well, I was joking that TM would replace himself. However, I would make that swap if I could. Proven success counts for more than potential success
BringBackFergy Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 I have nothing to contribute by way of sources, analysis or rebuttal.
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 I have nothing to contribute by way of sources, analysis or rebuttal. But you've always been for signing Mike Babcock, on the count of the fact that he's good.
\GoBillsInDallas/ Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Per John Vogl - contract rumor 5 years, $16m: http://sabres.buffalonews.com/2015/05/19/sabres-money-should-trump-babcocks-love-of-detroit-coaching-source-says/
ChevyVanMiller Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Per John Vogl - contract rumor 5 years, $16m: http://sabres.buffalonews.com/2015/05/19/sabres-money-should-trump-babcocks-love-of-detroit-coaching-source-says/ 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.
QCity Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 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.

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

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. Edited May 19, 2015 by Stopthepain

bbb Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 @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.
26CornerBlitz Posted May 19, 2015 Author Posted May 19, 2015 @bradyfan590 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"
