"It's not about the money!"
It doesn't solve their problems.......but if you're a franchise as rich as MLSE and the best coach in the world finally becomes available and you're not throwing the one thing you do have ($$$$$$) at him then you're not doing it right......contract is ridiculous but it doesn't go against the cap and they can absorb the risk.......
Babcock to the Leafs, Eichel to Buffalo, Florida on the rise. Man, our division looks a lot tougher than it did not too long ago
Hopefully this lets JJ know he wont have to pay a dime for julien if they decide to let him go.
Good move by Toronto. The terms are huge, but they can afford it. Doesnt effect the salary cap. I don't see anything negative about this from their perspective.
I wouldn't at all be surprised to see the Leafs in the finals even three years from now.
How long before the NHL locks out the coaches to bring down their skyrocketing salaries and save the owners from themselves by implementing a 2% HRR sharing and a cap on coaches salaries?
