I understand not wanting a retread coach, but if it's true that there's an attitude problem on the team, you need a guy with a ton of credibility who is "bigger" than the players. If Auston Matthews and Babcock are at odds and Matthews isn't buying in, who do you think wins? Babcock, and Matthews knows it.
This is a year where a handful of pretty good "name" coaches might be available, so they should go for it.
