Bertuzzi scored its 1-1. Wings may have found one in bertuzzi. but, hes in the same boat as Mantha. he has to get stronger.

Only way I seem him leaving Detroit is for a GM position; if he doesn't have aspirations for that or nothing worthwhile is there than why leave?

Babcock has already stated he feels a responsibility to drive up the amount coaches make, he is certainly in a position to do that. My guess is he talks to a number of teams gets the big money offered to him and goes back to Detroit and uses it as leverage. He still gets the big money contact, does his part to push the salary of coaches up higher and doesn't have to disrupt his life.

That's the smart play

Illitch has the money to match any offer but will he?
He paid Prince Fielder how much to go away? 40$ mill?

Dont mess with Illitch when he feels hes made his best offer. See Fedorov and Scherzer

Babcock said this today:

To be honest with you, my family wants to stay here, my wife and kids.”

He said earlier that he has two bosses: Holland and his Wife.

So, whats the hold up in re-signing?

Its about $, hes going to talk to these other teams and then come back to Kenny and tell him what these teams offered...

Icepigs showed some class at the end of this game when they knew it was over. Nice to see Mantha get in there and not back down.

The chance to coach McDavid or maybe even Nylander.

Babcock is as good as gone imo. He wants to be able to decide who makes the team and who doesn't no matter if they can be sent down or loss of assets and that isn't happening with Holland. I also think he wants a bigger more physical team that can play his grinding, ugly style of hockey that he loves so much and that isn't the Wings.


Bring on Blashill, I'm good with that.
