Pretty funny, Eichel gets a Sabres shirt held up in front of him in an interview and some guy rips it away.

Great hockey game tonight Caps and Rangers...Hoping Caps finally get pass them this year

[canadiansportsjunkie]

Rangers prove to be the better team! Capitals must hate the Rangers...Ovi can't pull it off even though I do love how he promised a win just couldn't pull it off

8yrs/$50M

[TheHurl]

nothing like going out and tripling the salary of the highest paid coach in the league

[dineke]

What is Mike Babcock worth a year? 1 win? Do hockey coaches make a big difference?

[Spanky__99]

Sweet.

Does Casey make a difference?

[havok24]

Who gives a flying f*** about the salary!

 

I am legit f***ing pumped.

 

Yeah the Leafs literally have money pooping out of their asses, so that isn't really an issue for them.

[dineke]

Does Casey make a difference?

 

Casey makes a difference by being one of the worst. I'm asking how much better is Babcock than an average nhl coach. I don't follow hockey much.

literally? that sounds serious.

[Zaun of the Dead]

general consensus would be that he is among the best.

[Frag]

Woooo!

lol

Exactly, they're freaking loaded, better to spend that money in the FO, which they are.

[dineke]

general consensus would be that he is among the best.

 

I'm asking how big of a difference the best coach makes in the NHL. Is it closer to the NFL or the MLB?

Babcock is arguably the best coach in the NHL, huge difference.

NFL, Basketball, baseball isn't even close.

[Dr. Dinger]

Serious question: is Babcock now the Leafs highest paid personnel?

[GD]

It's comparable to basketball. You need a good system in place but you still need good players to execute it.

Dion/Kessel get more than him a year I think

[Spanky__99]

3rd me thinks!

[Spanky__99]

Babcock hates to lose, it'll be fairly interesting the first few years here, lol.

[Laika]

Richest team in a salary cap league. Might as well spend it where you can.

their highest paid players only make around 750 k more than him hahaha

[Zaun of the Dead]

the deal is front loaded too so he'll be making more than them perhaps
