[QUOTE=Erick Estrada;7339340]Also maybe noteworthy that Babcock hasn't been an option for several teams now that have replaced their coach since he was fired by the Leafs. Wasn't long ago there was a bidding war for his services. I expect teams are going to want to wait until the offseason at least to see if the smoke has cleared around him.[/QUOTE

Babcock's salary is probably the main reason he has not been re-
hired and plus the fact he needs a release from the Leafs.
