This had been out there all season. All you had to do was watch HNIC. It was pretty much a given Babs was going to Toronto. They would do whatever was necessary to get him. As to the Wings offers. They made serious offers. He only made $2 mil his last year from what I found online. Their original offers were $3.25 mil. That's a nice bump. He just wasn't going to get the same number of years here as anywhere else. He'd been here 10 already. Voice gets stale. Offering 5 yrs at the end was a great show of respect. I don't think he would have lasted all 5 if he stayed. Hey man, I'm just going by what most Leafs fans had been saying to me. Only a few of these Leafs fans I'd talked to thought they had a chance at Babs and that was only if the Wings won the cup this year. They thought it was more likely if he won a cup? I'd think it was less.

If I was to venture a guess though I'd say they thought he was only leaving Detroit if he won another cup and went out on top in Detroit.

He was gone once he decided to play out the season without signing a new contract.

I mean this site needs more traffic, but I have no idea why this conversation is remotely interesting to anyone.

What contest? Leaf fans' thought process? I'd rather re-read tommy's post about his fart 199 times than read this back and forth.

Agree. Pollux is why I had to stop posting. I get that he is trying to keep the place alive by himself but no one ever replies to him, it is just him replying to every fucking post with the UUU

I don't think Pollux is trying to keep this place alive. That's just how he posts.

A new era begins. I haven't heard much reaction to the news good or bad.

Seriously, you guys didn't bring any of the good posters with you. What did you expect? Did you you guys kinda notice I stopped the pissing match because I saw it was pissing some of you off? It wasn't my intention to start a pissing match, but when someone questions your insights, you tend to get a little bit defensive.
