alfie/his agent contacted us first. not the other way around.
edit. holland actually called his agent, j.p. barry. but not about alfie. he asked him who of his clients were UFA and he said alfie is thinking about moving on, are you interested?
According to Alfie himself on HBO's 24/7 he was fully intent on going back to Ottawa but a discussion with Holland and Babcock changed his mind.
Maybe, maybe not. Really no way to know that.
The list of coaches who've been successful GM's is not a long one.
There's no way to know for sure one way or the other, but the odds aren't in Babcock's favor. I doubt he'd even want to be a GM, its a much harder job than coaching.
