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?
Oilers banking on ex-Red Wings coach to get them over the top
i dont know man, babcock is a huge gamble tbh they say he's a great strategist but idk if hes still got it after all that drama in columbus

dude agree with danM88 here tbh babcock has a proven track record and if hes got some baggage lets be real its prolly because he's always pushing his team hard

yup, that drama thing is a concern but tbh i think babcock's got enough rep with the team already man, they'll know how to handle him

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

ngl the whole "fresh start" thing is just code for "we have no idea how this guy really works", man @jake_oilers said something similar about babcock's rep with the team but idk if that even matters without a legit plan for depth scoring
