He's so bad he's in the running for a head coach gig. Odd disconnect.
It IS however Edmonton, so...

It is fairly well known fact around team. I have heard it from quite a few different people. DJ is a very traditional defensive systems coach with a very well known history of implementing such in the OHL where he coached before Leafs. He was also your typical defensive defender when he played. The defensive and neutral zone systems the Leafs play are all Bab's. Except for PP which he turned over this season to Hiller.where are you getting this nugget from?
I'm not saying Babcock can't be fired. He can be. What I am saying is, that it isn't just Dubas's call. He can recommend it, and it likely would happen. But, it could also turn against Dubas/Shanny due to the number of talented people they let leave the organization last year in this turnover.
Keene needs to stay with the Leafs/Marlies. We need him.
I’ve heard speculation about that but haven’t seen anything concrete??Keefe just got a fat AHL deal. Apparently he is being paid like 3x more than the second highest paid coach in the AHL.
Some interesting pieces to the puzzle here.Keefe just got a fat AHL deal. Apparently he is being paid like 3x more than the second highest paid coach in the AHL.
Chris Johnson mentioned it on Steve Dangles podcast.I’ve heard speculation about that but haven’t seen anything concrete??
If true that’s a duby saying you are my replacement not if but when.

Doesn't speak to Shanny signing off, nobody really talked about the B of D.
Ya that guy I replied to did like 100 timesDoesn't speak to Shanny signing off, nobody really talked about the B of D.
Although Dubas might have authority to fire Babcock, I highly doubt he fires the highest paid coach in the League without discussing it with Shanahan or informing the MLSE BoD in advance.Doesn't speak to Shanny signing off, nobody really talked about the B of D.
This. Watch DJ move to LA and have success there. Everyone will be surprised that his system is working. His lack of success here is the head coaches doing. Babs is a total helicopter coach.Do we actually think that's DJ Smiths doing? That seems like a head coach move to me...that kind of hinges on the entire breakout/strategy doesn't it?
You forgot to add... ego maniac and control freak!This. Watch DJ move to LA and have success there. Everyone will be surprised that his system is working. His lack of success here is the head coaches doing. Babs is a total helicopter coach.
