this thread was made while we still had Eakins as coach, during the absolute worst of it during late november.
I accidentally voted though while it was still up lol

McDavid = organizational turn over AND a franchise player all in one.
Even if he busts, we're still in a better position than just having Babcock. It's pre'sweet. It's pre'sweet indeed.

Why would Babcock's contract bother you?(or anyone)
It doesn't effect the team's cap.

Well it's setting a standard now and soon all the coaches will be demanding just as much or somewhere close to it. Money never was an issue for coaches before but who knows, it could become a factor for future coaches

Hey, good news. We have a new coach who should be here for a while. Let the other teams moan over the price of the next head coach.

It was going to happen eventually, coaches in other sports make between 5 - 20 million per year. NHL coaches are relatively underpaid compared to their peers. It's actually one of the things we heard when Babwatch started, he wanted to change pay standard for coaches.
But again, it's not something that should bother fans as it doesn't effect the cap, the only guy who should be worried about such things is the owner. If anything, higher paid coaches means they become less disposable, and may have a trickle down effect of more accountability within the industry regarding the GMs who do the hiring.

One of the weakest drafts ever. Mcdavid one of the better draft years.
i wouldn't take Babcock. I said this days ago that if you take guys like Phil Jackson, Al Arbour, Glen Sather, or any acclaimed coach they had a team with great players.
Babcock's record will be similar to another good coach they had in Randy Carlyle . The vets on the leafs don't even compare to Detroit's. I know the Toronto media will say he's the best thing for them, but he's not going to go score goals or do anything out of this world.

We got the 1st best draft pick, and 2nd best available coach. I'd say that's not bad. Here's a fun question:
McDavid + McLellan
or
Eichel + Babcock?

Yea, you look at collegiate coaches in america - for basketball, and football especially NHL coaches don't get paid anything even comparable
