IMHO Babcock is the scapegoat here for a GM who has badly allocated the team's cap. Their fingers are crossed that offence will win a championship.

Even if I forgave the appeal to authority aspect of this, this argument is pants on head stupid.
One does not have to be an NHL coach to know that forcing someone low on the totem pole to rank their co-workers by a very subjective trait and then
tell the people at the bottom what he said is a tremendously bad idea for workplace unity.
There is no logical argument for claiming this works as a motivating exercise for Marner. And certainly it's hardly going to help the people he was manipulated into trashing either.
As far as attempted spin goes, Babcock's effort to try and explain that away was admirable. But it doesn't change the fact that he confirmed the story in the process. And that, in turn, helps build the case that the dude is a sociopath.
