Wrote an article here quoting an "NHL executive" talking about how Babcock will be miserable in Toronto. That suggest to me that he talks to people in the Wings' front office from time to time.

It's perfectly possible you're correct also though. Who knows really.
I dont mean he has no sources at all, I'm not really sure I dont read his stuff and Im not sure who he is. I just mean that this article reads more like a person saying he doesnt believe the rumours based on past behaviour from Ken Holland and the wings.
I just think that while people say Holland does nothing, hes actually been in on massive names lately and offered huge packages so I wouldnt be shocked if the first or Mantha are moved at all.
The Edler package was huge, Bob Mackenzie said the wings offered the best package for Rick Nash (same division back then though), pretty sure the rumoured Jay Bo package was massive as well. Holland knows he needs to make a big trade to finish the retool of this team and hes actively trying to do it.
