There's been rumours MLSE has been courting Babcock for ages now. I have no idea where the rumours started or why they apparently might actually have some weight to them, but a man can dream.
[NHL] Game of Thrones on Ice (aka the NHL Hockey Thread)
- Thread starter jwhouk
- Start date
I think it's all based on Babcock's contract being up soon and him not wanting to discuss his contract during the season. The media has taken that as a sign he wants out, but as far as I know, all it means for sure is he doesn't want to discuss his contract during the season.
Eichel has been named one of BU's alternate captain for 2015-16.
He already knew that he was likely headed to either Buffalo or Arizona - and the latter only if the Sabres would have won the McDavid Sweepstakes.
He's been cryptic in interviews, but I don't think he cares for either destination.[DOUBLEPOST=1429468989,1429468508][/DOUBLEPOST]By the way: there really isn't much difference between #1 overall and #2 overall, in terms of NHL value. Over the last 25 drafts, the difference is just over 9% in relative games played (actual games vs. maximum possible).
