The Jackets 50 wins and 108 points would have been the greatest regular season in Maple Leafs history for comparison sakes and was achieved by with a roster featuring Cam Atkinson as it's leading scorer and Sam Gagner top five in team scoring. It's not a slight against Babcock and more that he's up against a coach that got an incredible season from an incredibly mediocre roster.
