ChevyVanMiller Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Sportsnet.ca: Maple Leafs, Sabres in pursuit of Mike Babcock "Babcock visited Buffalo last weekend prior to making the trek to the Czech Republic. "Now it's believed that the Sabres are putting together a big pitch," Friedman noted." I like the sound of that. When the Pegulas put together a big pitch they usually land their man.

Beerball Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 It compares in the sense that Bowman and Babcock were/are considered the best coaches in the game. But that's where it ends. Bowman was coming off 5 cup wins, including four in a row with Montreal when we got him, after all. so, if Scotty is a 10 on the Meh Cassel scale this would rate a 7.5?

K-9 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 so, if Scotty is a 10 on the Meh Cassel scale this would rate a 7.5? I think that's where I'd put Babcock on the Bowman scale. @USAHockeyScores FINAL: Team USA tops the Czech Republic 3-0 to claim bronze at the 2015 IIHF Men's World Championship. #IIHFWorlds #2015MWC GREAT tournament by our guys; nobody had them winning their group, let alone a medal. They were very well coached, too. The Blue Jackets have a good one in Todd Richards. Eichel answered every conceivable question I had about his ability to play immediately at the next level. In spades. Can't wait to see him, Kane, and Ennis on a line together. Better yet, Murray swings a trade for Ryan O'Reilly and puts him on the wing with Eichel and Kane.

Buffalo's 2nd first-rounder plus Compher or Hurley and Jerome Leduc for O'Reilly? What say you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What say you? I think it's gonna take a lot more. I'm thinking Grigorenko, Zadorov, and our other 1st round pick for openers. And that may not be enough.

26CornerBlitz Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) TSN: Eichel a superstar in the making (1:55) Rod Black, Bob Errey, and Dave Reid break down Jack Eichel's game against the Czechs and say he's already proving that he can keep up with everyone else on the ice. Jack Eichel Takes Home More Than Bronze PRAGUE – Jack Eichel may be coming home from the Czech Republic with a bronze medal, but what he’s taking away from the 2015 IIHF World Championships is far more valuable than any precious metals. If there were any doubts about whether he’s NHL ready, they are not only erased but completely obliterated.
