If I were a betting man, I'd wager Babcock is a Sabre by the end of the week.
My logic:
Young team about to be loaded with talent, ability to develop and shape them the way he sees fit.
Tons of money.
Red Wings are going to be in a re-tooling mode for the next few years.
Has done everything you can name under the sun with the Red Wings in his tenure and is likely seeking a new challenge.
Taking all of that into consideration, it just makes too much sense for a guy like Babcock to pass up a fresh new opportunity where majority of the young pieces are in place for the forseeable future in Buffalo.
