Toronto and Buffalo in bidding war for Babcock. No decision yet. Hearing Red Wings final offer was 5 years at $4 million per.

DarrenDreger: Of course, Babcock could embrace opportunity and take less to stay in Det.

Way to hedge your bets, Dregs.

Yeah, McKenzie was basically doing the exact same thing earlier this morning too. I think it's Buffalo, they just need to keep the speculation alive for another few hours.
 
Isn't the reason this thread exists because Toronto was done? Unless he's just using them to get more money out of Buffalo in which case, you know, go get 'em Babs.

In less than 24 hours Bob McKenzie went from "definitely not coming to Toronto" to "Toronto not entirely out of picture".

At least he admitted he had no clue (tweet from this morning):

On #BabcockWatch, there should be no shame in admitting we're all still, more or less, guessing on outcome
 
Which is the modern sports media in a nutshell. A respected, veteran news guy like McKenzie saying "All we have are guesses" and then spending the next few hours making guesses.
 
Is it sad or just telling that I first read the title as babewatch?

I think my asylum thread got euthanized prematurely.
 
Ultimately the important thing is that even if the Leafs do land Babcock, the media has managed not to overhype it. That way expectations will be nice and reasonable.

Don't worry, we'll all be talking in the 'Leafs sign Babcock' thread soon enough!

The good news is if the Leafs get Babcock they get one of the better coaches in the league.

The bad news is if the Leafs get Babcock the team is still horrible and still needs to be totally gutted.
 
You know if the Leafs sign him the media will spin it as it being purely about the money, Babcock sold out and isn't as good as everybody thought etc etc.
