That would be a great choice, and I'm not saying that the Flames can't strike first, but I have heard that Babcock is high on DJ Smith being ready for a head coaching job, so much so that he has taken the initiative to introduce Smith to McLean so that in the off chance that Smith gets a HC gig, he'll have "a helluva vet ass't coach" (Babcock's words) to help Smith transition to HC in the NHL.
Again, a lot of if's and buts in that scenario, and like I said, here's hoping Treliving/Peters strike first on McLean.
