Babcock

[Dooman]

With the Red Wings eliminated, can teams officially start courting him? Or when does his contract expire?

in theory contract expire--however--they can agree to go their separate ways whenever

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

To fuel this, Babcock supposedly made a comment after the game that Mrazek will be very good in the future "for the Wings". Pretty weird to refer to your own team in the third person, eh?

...unless it's not your team anymore?

 

[Bps21*]

He's under contract until June 30th. The team can let him talk to other teams if they want to.

 

[Del Preston]

Come to Edmonton. Everybody's doing it.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Hes going to Edmonton. Book it

 

[Shredator]

Lowe
MacTavish
Eakins
McDavid
Chiraelli
Babcock

Make it happen

 

[Soundwave]

If you draft him ... they will come.

 

[Broken Glass]

Pegula has unlimited funds, let's do it!

 

[Bps21*]

Unlike the savior, Babcock has a choice.

No he doesn't. League is holding a lottery for his rights next week. And we know how that will turn out.

 

[Satoru Gojo]

I actually really believe he's going to Edmonton, does any one else think so to?

Yep. He's probably tight with Bob Nicholson.

Blues will more than likely be in the market for a new coach...

I could see this but I don't know if St Louis has the necessary funds to give him big $.

C'mon Babs come to Edmonton you know you want to..

One Season ago we had

Eakins
MacT
Lowe

Now possibly to

Babcock
Chiarelli
Nicholson

That is things that Oilers fans would never even dream about.. and to think it might even be possible is sheer insanity still to me. Add to that the cherry on top is that kid McDavid.. For once this team doesn't embarass me.

 

[Reality Check]

On paper, Edmonton makes more sense than Toronto.

But Babcock wants control just as much as to be paid.

 

[Bob Cole]

come back to Montreal please

 

[Mav3rick07]

As an Oilers fan, I would honestly take Hitchcock over Babcock but I'm sure I'm in the minority.

That's the number one question I think..

Offer him the role of A-GM Chiarelli!

 

[UnrefinedCrude]

Looks like everyone here's craving the '****!

I don't think either make sense as he has been criticized for relying too heavily on veterans at the expense of younger players. St Louis makes the most sense to me.

 

[ottawa]

come back to Montreal please

Nope...he's not familiar enough with da system to take MTs place

 

[GretzkytoKurri9917]

He's coming to Edmonton.

 

[Karlsson2Turris*]

This made me lol

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Time for a change, I don't want him back in Detroit.

It was a fun ten years for the most part. But I want a new voice and I don't think he should command near the salary or power he is rumored to want. Not interested in paying him for his accomplishments with Team Canada.

Best of luck anywhere but Toronto to Babs.

I am sure they will offer him a contract, I wouldn't, but they will. I am ready to turn the page though.

McLellan or Blashill, I prefer Blashill should be the answer in Detroit.
