Not giving away his trade secrets? sounds a bit like he is covering himself in case he decides to stay in detroit?

That's idiotic. How could a GM hire Babcock without knowing the two are on the same page. Let this guy stay in Detroit this farce is done.

I call bullpoop on the idea that Babcock refuses to talk about his approach to coaching in these interviews

why is Babcock waiting. just announce he is staying in Dtroit and move on. I guess the ego needs to be fed

From College to Pros in Hockey? That's not common.

Weird.

Who? Never heard of him but that might be a good thing. At least it is not another re-tread

Ron hired him because he liked the sound of his last name.

Because he's a douche. Scorching hot take right there.

who?

He coached Hextalls son so there is the connection

Ahhh that's Malarkey...everybody knows what Babcock brings to the table, the kind of coach he is....the real questions should be for him, asking what in the (frank) exactly are the Leafs/Sabres/Sharks plans? That's where they mystery lies.

looks like ek misspelled babcock

Asking Babcock about his methods and strategy seems about like asking Gordon Ramsay for his recipes.

The guy has a standing offer and a ton of suitors. He is interviewing them not the other way around.

I dunno, if any GM doesn't know what Babcock brings, what sport has he been working in?

Puck possession, defense, subtle clutching and grabbing, work the refs like a champ, repeat as necessary.

Guy's a great coach for sure but it's also not like there aren't a few others out there. Also hasn't hurt to have Datsyuk, Zetterberg and Lidstrom.

Perfect hire, if you guys are going after this cat

Yeah if you're Mike Babcock...wouldn't YOU have a few questions about what he game plan is with these teams before signing your career away?

If a GM does not know what Babcock is about then that GM is is very out of touch with hockey in general they should be fired.

Babcock does not need to leave the Red Wings, what he wants to hear is what other teams are offering him.

like who?

u cant make a blanket statement and the not provide evidence in support of it.

but, this is hockeybuzz. the site where fantasy is often portrayed as reality.

You know this is a strange one when Ek doesn't add the token "love this move"

I think Babcock is a good coach because he has really good teams when he won.
