Around the League 2019-2026 Edition

Babs will stick around for the two years, be on his best behavior, give them some modicum level of success without a Cup, and then they will blow it all the way fucking up. I'm happy with a Babs hiring there. No Biff please, who will run them off the rails by the trade deadline.
 
Babs ego will be through the roof considering he’s talking directly to ownership. They’re trying a Vegas level swing here. Still haven’t solved the shit goaltending though.
 
As much as I think Vegas is kinda being douchey for preventing Cassidy from getting employed elsewhere, at the same time, if you knew a division rival was either going to hire Cassidy… or pivot to Berube/Babcock!?…
Seems like a shitty thing to do to Cassidy though
 
Truthfully, I was hoping for Berube for the Oil. Because that would be hilarious and show the hockey world that it wasn't the Core 4, it was his systems and like, not understanding what Coaches do.

But Babcock would be hilarious also. Just the drama, Gudpro stuff plus being out of touch with the modern game. Yup, that will be fun.

And the weird psych games. Awesome.
 
"Hey guys, Coach Babcock here sending my first group message to the team, looking forward to shaping you all as hockey players and bringing some much needed accountability to this room. I'm not allowed to look at at your phones, so I've created a Google Drive where you can upload your photos directly to me."
 
Babcock's a classic bully. He prefers to target his worst abuse at young players (the younger the better) and guys around the fringes of his roster who's careers live or die based on the coach's whims.
He must be desperate
Oilers have no young players.
