I think if they hadn't made some sort of move at or above the GM, he would have been much more likely to leave. Glad Lou's not staying in Toronto though. Now allwe need is Mark Hunter to leave for another NHL team or return to the London Knights and I'll be damn happy! lol Hunter is so good at finding talent in the draft. Him leaving would be a big blow to Toronto IMO. I don't have as much faith in Kyle Dubas as others do. He hasn't really impressed me all that much yet. Yeah, he helped turn around I thought he got totally taken to school in that Kessel trade (Toronto is still retaining money on Kessel for 4 more years (7 total)), and that trade he made when he was running the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds was pretty questionable too. He traded 2 players and SEVEN draft picks to get a goalie - Jack Campbell - to play in front of Matt Murray (you know, the guy who was a huge reason the Penguins won back to back cups ... lol). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 He was talking to Tavares while still technically a Toronto employee? I’d love a tampering charge as a parting gift. Yeah, I’m really stretching it with this one, but it’s worth a shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was talking to JT on behalf of the NYI and they would be the team to file tampering charges if applicable. Not happening as you already know.

BillsFan4 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 1 hour ago, 26CornerBlitz said: I was just coming here to post this. Love it! Losing Hunter is a big blow. They would have Noah Hanifin instead of Mitch Marner if not for him (not that Hanifin isn't a damn good young defenseman, but he hasn't been on Marner's level so far). The leafs wouldn't have a lot of the talent they do without Hunter. Now it's all up to Dubas... Itll be really interesting to see how he and Babcock work together, without Hunter & Lou (2 old school "hockey" people). Now its all on 32yr old Dubas to keep Babs from steamrolling right over him. In my opinion, this is the first real move that Shanahan has made (hiring Dubas) that opens him up for criticism. I mean, he had no real choice but to make a decision between hunter and Dubas (unless the kicked the can and kept Lou as GM a couple more years). But Time will tell if it was the right one.

26CornerBlitz Posted May 22, 2018 Author Share Posted May 22, 2018 John Vogl is leaving TBN effective 5/31. Always liked his Sabres' coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BN Sabres coverage is going to suck if Harrington is the main guy writing for them now. Always like Vogl and (usually) enjoyed reading his stuff. Why couldnt Harrington, Sully, Bucky (etc) seek a voluntary buyout?! lol Edited May 22, 2018 by BillsFan4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if we will see the same level of bitching about paying for content as we see for the BN. I do not subscribe to the Atlhletic, but will when Buffalo comes into the fold. I like Vogl, as prolly most of us do, and you are prolly right on where he will end up. Who else thinks the BN went to the big 3 over there, they all knew no way another outlet would want them, and they refused to take the buyout. Poor Josh is saddled with those tools, and nothing he can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dream scenario is that they miss the playoffs by a hair next year and decide to keep it. Then they really struggle the following season and are forced to give Buffalo a top 10 pick! lol I know, very unlikely. But I can dream... Either way, at least we (hopefully) salvage something from that damn Kane trade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
