Bob Duff: Babcock move best for all involved After 10 years as coach of Detroit, Mike Babcock needed a new challenge and after a decade with the same coach, the Wings are ready to hear a new voice in the dressing room.

Time for Holland to put on his big boy pants and make some moves.

I can only hope. They need to bring Fedorov over and groom him for the job once his KHL contract is up.

So Babcock takes Hiller and apparently going to take Andrew Miller too.

So that's cool.

Apparently Hiller was on a one year deal.

lots of ?s to be solved

-Blashill will be the coach. who will be his assistants.
-GR needs new coach too. probably who they have in the ECHL will come up.
-Whats the status of Weiss. Buyout?
-Whats the status of Franzen. Done?
-Its a weak free agent market. I wonder if they do anything.

It sucks to lose good hockey people. Most new coaches want to bring in their own assistants anyways. Makes it less awkward.

I made a decision that was best, I felt, for Mike Babcock and his family.

gotta love his obsessive use of third person.

Babcock is an ass. His stupid comments about "Canada's team" were asinine and only serve to alienate people not living in Toronto.
