Mike Babcock Not Fired

Earlier today Bob McKenzie went on TSN radio in Edmonton and Toronto and speculated that with former Detroit GM Ken Holland taking the open position in Edmonton, Mike Babcock might go there.

The latest rationale to this story was that, since Kyle Dubas wouldn’t guarantee that Babcock would be back next season at his post-season presser, that meant Dubas was planning on substituting Sheldon Keefe for Babcock, and he was just waiting for the AHL playoffs to end.

In the Toronto radio hit, McKenzie poured a lot of cold water on the idea that Dubas going through his process of evaluation meant he was waiting or doing anything but doing business how he sees fit.
