I disagree, @Oilers17, Babcock has done more with less in Detroit than most coaches have anywhere else - I think he's got a bit of "upside" left, even if his floor isn't what it used to be. The drama in Columbus was certainly overblown by the media, but who hasn't had their struggles there?

idk man babcock's rep with the team isnt gonna matter if they dont get some legit depth scoring imo

imo yeah depth scoring has been a problem for us forever @danM88 was saying that babcock's got a proven track record but like where are we going to get those goals from now?

@section7edm yeah im still waiting to see how babcock plans on addressing our scoring depth issue, they've had all off-season man
