Hope not...+ a 3rd? Oh well, not my money.

I don't care. To create the best room, the best team you have to have the best pieces in place prior. Personally I think he's going to be GM as well and allowed (with Shanny's go-ahead) to create the team that he wants... not many coaches get that chance.

How does the deal get worse for Detroit and include compensation?

The Goal all along has been to have the Toronto Maple Wings.

This draft and develop mantra that they are implementing at even the (frank)ing ECHL level, combined with everything else. Shanny basically saw first hand that Detroit is an unstoppable Big Red Machine and want in on that action

I did post a couple weeks ago, that IF there was a chance he would be the associate GM with Dubas and head coach.

I still think it is a team out west.

Kings fire Sutter and hire Babcock, the way out there post of the day.

Agreed...if indeed $8M, that has to include GM title...and he'll drive the zamboni between periods and fly the team charter

But but, unbiased Detroit fans said Babcock is no good, overrated and players hated playing for him.

He was also the reason that Detroit lost in the playoffs so much.

Sharks are out, per LeBrun

It's not San Jose, Sharks for sure are OUT on Babcock. Sharks focused on long list of other candidates right now

I hope Babcock enjoys his time on that plane, since it's the last time for a while he'll see two wings with Leaf logos doing their job.

No such thing.

Just like the 'unbiased' Nucks fans who blamed Luongo for their Boston defeat.
