May also have discussed Shanahan taking GM role, or Babcock/Shanahan having final say over personnel decisions.

Well if there's anything we know about the Leafs. They like to print money and spend it as much as the Rangers.
Babcock is a great coach but that term is crazy.

After years at the Department of Player Safety, it's nice to see Shanahan finally hand out a number that everyone thinks is too high.

This relationship will not last more than three years. This is beyond ludicrous!

Interesting given that TSN said definitively yesterday that Babcock wasn't going to Toronto.

I'd be very worried if I was a Leafs fan. He's clearly only there for the money, and it's guaranteed if he coaches 1 game or 1,000 games. I suspect he mails it in as coach and gets $50 million for 2-3 years work.
