What do you guys think? Im not just buying into the 'Fire Claude' nonsense but Babcock is a damn good coach and he loves Bergy..would be interesting to see his style in Boston.

I think anything is possible.
Some team will offer a disgustingly high contract for him, and it sure as hell won't be the Bruins; it will be a real ailing team that has the cash to spend.

Red Wings are in a good situation and new arena being built.
Personally I think he is so close to Claude that he would never take his place.
The one job Babcock might consider is Toronto as the challenge of bringing Stanley to Yonge St has to intrigue him.
If they fire Claude, Babcock is obviously the best possible replacement.
I don't see Jacobs paying Claude to not coach for the next 3 years while paying the huge amount it'll take to get Babcock.
Good point. Claude I believe is slated to be in the top 5 in terms of coaches pay. If Babcock goes to free agency he will get a Gomez like contract (but produce better). Too much $

Babcock is the antithesis of what the Bruins identity is. No thank you.
I'm not the biggest Claude fan but what you're seeing now is strictly a personnel issue.

Would Al Arbour have coached another team in the same era to cups ??? I wouldn't bet on it. Coaches are important, don't get me wrong, but talent inflates them a lot as well .
