A bit of a contrarian opinion... but I don't think that Babcock is that great of a coach. I think he has always been overrated. I don't think he is worth the 'gamble' on (balancing his past behaviours with his success). I guess we will see, but i have always thought of him as an overrated coach.
Columbus is sure to improve anyway. They had a lot of injuries last year, and they also have a great young group of players (and more to come) emerging. If they are making some 'win-now' trades, I definitely hope that Calgary is involved.
I do, however, think that Gaudreau will have a bounce-back season.
I can't wait for Commodore's comments.
