Babcock given permission to talk to NHL teams - Update - Leafs it is!

[DaBoltsNIsles]

I'm not sure you understand what sound ownership means

I don't think Snider is the problem. He's done all he can to put a good team together. Holmgren made a lot of bad moves. We'll see what Hextall does. It's got to be hard for Snider to have patience at this point though.

Hearing that Babcock has signed an extension to remain with Detroit (as per Sportsnet). I'll wait to hear confirmation from a reliable news outlet (lol)

Teaser alert????

Helene St. James ‏@HeleneStJames5m5 minutes ago Per #RedWings GM Ken Holland, "Mike Babcock has not made a decision," on coaching future. He expects to make decision by end of next week.

I'm getting the sense more and more that he will stay with Detroit, but he could be bluffing too

Agreed.

McLellan will be in EDM, and the rest of us will be saying "Whodaf**k???" when our new coaches are announced

I think the Flyers might end up being that team that hires someone way out of the blue

Maybe it could be Jeff Blashill, if Babcock stays in Detroit, but I dunno - and I still think something will be sorted out in Boston soon enough

I like Blashill and think he's ready for the NHL. I could see Hextall making this move, assuming Blashill being interested?

As we were saying....

Hakstol and Hextall - Sounds like a law firm.

As we were saying....

This has Snider written all over it. He has always dreamed of a situation when he only has one name to scream down the hall.


HAAAAAXXXXTAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL!

A college coach. In Philly. With those fans. Should be fun to watch if nothing else.

Agreed.

.@TSNBobMcKenzie told a Montreal radio station "most people would be surprised" if Babs doesn't return 2 Wings, said Babs to Toronto a no go

Which we all knew already anyway.

Leafs should give Gilmour a go. What's the worst that can happen?

The guy who hired him is in some other town, now. I think it was the guy to his left:

I'm sure they'll be re-uniting soon
