Carlyle is not a possession coach at all. He's your classic dump and chase guy. His Leafs team was one of the worst defensive/possession teams in recent memory. Yeah it was a bad team - but it was better than the team Babcock has now and Babcock managed to improve the Leafs' possession game significantly.

He improved their possession but it was still a worse team that finished 30th. The worst the Leafs finished under Carlyle was 26th still awful. Definitely don't want Carlyle myself but this years Leafs team was awful
