If Babcock doesn't go to EDM then McLellan is a shoe in. Doubt Bylsma ends up there, he'll probably join his buddy Shero in Jersey.

I thought he was in a win now kind of mood why would he sign with a team that just started a rebuild?

Oilers might just not wait on Babcock and try and sign McLellan... Maybe. As per Friedman.

You need to install the Babcock translation extension on your browser.

That quote translates to: I want to make personnel decisions without having to take blame for them like a GM would.

How stupid would Babcock look having just publicly announced he has absolutely no interest in a GM or presidents role, only to take one with the leafs lol. Your sources are bad.

I believe the conversation likely went:

TML - Mike, any interest in being coach and GM?
MB - I have no desire to be GM.
TML - We'll give you x million a year to do both.
MB - ........ *clears throat* .....That sounds like a great opportunity.

Well there's more to come. In the meantime give Mike Richards credit and keep your eyes on Carolina.

Do you really believe Babcock e's been talking out of both sides of his mouth for a year.

On on hand he says he does not want o be GM, then he says he wants much more say.e
