Let the Mike Babcock Watch Begin!

[LawMan]

Oilers prez/GM Peter Chiarelli also had a chat with Wings GM Ken Holland about Mike Babcock but at this point hasn't requested permission

from Pierre Lebrun twitter. From the sounds of things the Oilers are debating getting in the race but haven't formally talked to Babcock yet.

Around or on May 20th Babcock is expected to announce a direction in his free agent status and maybe rule out a team say Detroit?

I watch that video and it screams he's staying in Detroit. I expected this to last alot longer but with a decision coming around May 20th. It's gonna be Detroit. IMO.

Well at least he won't keep us waiting long.

[fungchen3]

At this point I'm thinking he stays in Detroit.

[Bomm Bastic]

We should know w/in the next ten days or so, right? I thought I read somewhere he'd have a decision by May 25th or thereabouts.

[Shake]

25th is the Red Wings deadline they gave Babcock. Babs said he'd have a decision by the 20th at the latest. Sounds like he already has a decision made by the tone of the video. They said in video they leave Worlds tomorrow and I'd imagine come Tuesday / Wednesday we see an announcement.

No. Keep it up on your lawn, just be ready to put a Wings sweater on it

I think it's Detroit as first option but I have this feeling that he would love the opportunity to team up with former player of his Shanahan and be the coach that brings Toronto back to relevance. I don't think he's all that deeply interested in Buffalo. Maybe he's using them as leverage to drive up $$$ for a contract? No idea. Hunch says Detroit, and if not Detroit than it will be Toronto.

I was adament on him going to St. Louis as I thought this thing would drag out until mid-summer, but clearly that isn't the case.

Yeah he has that type of ego that he'd take on the Leaf challenge. But I agree I'd say Detroit too.
