I guess Mike Babcock coaching the Detroit Red Wings seems like one of the irrefutable constants of the universe.

Babcock was on with the guys in the morning on the fan a week or so ago and was given every opportunity to say he was wanting to stay with Detroit long term but he didnt address it that way. Instead he said he has one year left and wants to see how things go before making any decisions about his future.
The other side of that though is the Wings will/are getting considerably younger in the next couple seasons and that Jeff Blashill is the guy who has molded the current and future group in Grand Rapids and he might be best to take the team over moving forward.
