On the timing of the decision to fire Babcock:
Dubas: It’s not an optimal time to have someone new come in and run the bench and run the program with no practice right into the game today. I think it is going to take some time and require some patience, which we understand when we do these types of things, but our way of looking at it is we’ve got a full belief in his ability to continue to develop the players we have. Development is still so important regardless of their age at the NHL level and he has shown the track record of continuing to develop players and win at the same time.
