Babcock to toronto

[mrmel29]

Obviously a good move for them

what is he thinking..why leave such a good organization like Detroit for that mess?

 

[kreidertime]

Because he's brilliant. Toronto is the elite place for hockey. If you win there, you will be a God forever. He has a franchise center prospect in Nylander. A franchise young talent on defense in Rielly. A power forward in JVR. He has the 4th overall pick in this draft potentially drafting another franchise center. Another late round first pick. Meaning, he can have his GM dump fatass Kessel and head case Kadri if he wants. It's perfect for him. They have some good prospects in the minors.

well good for him taking on that mammoth challenge as he will be the most scrutinized man in the northern hemisphere

 

[speeds]

I am amazed.

 

[Disturbed]

He also gets 50m. Seriously what's not to like

 

[vroppelt]

In the end, all about the cash, simple as that.

some people just want the challenge. Theo Epstein left a good Sox team to go to the Cubs in hopes of bringing them a WS. He went for the challenge.
