Carlyle fired

[Highlander]

This season was never about making the playoffs, it was giving Shanaplan his year to access, make a lot of managment changes and wait for Babcock to become available.  This year was indeed a right off from the start. So we can either knash our teeth or sit back and watch the inevitable changes which are going to happen, probably starting with a trade or 4 and Nonis being handed his walking papers after we miss the playoffs.

I can't wait for Babcock to come nowhere near Toronto.

 

[pmrules]

I can't wait for Babcock to come nowhere near Toronto.

The only way I see Babcock coming here is he is offered BOTH GM and Coach.  He would want full control over the roster.

That, or a truckload of money.

Yup. I really don't see him leaving Detroit, to be honest.

I don't think the chances are high or anything but I feel like if him staying in Detroit were that much of a sure thing it would have been done already. There's a part of me that feels like Ilitch might eventually cave on whatever demands Babcock may have but I think that there's more than a little truth to the idea that there's friction there right now.

 

[Highlander]

He's got nothing left to prove there, a real legend to build and I believe that Shanaplan can handle the power structure by having the B as both GM and Coach.. Of course Dubas would be a heavy assistant GM.

 

[Bullfrog]

Where does the idea that he'd want to be a GM come from?

 

[rdowdall]

Where does the idea that he'd want to be a GM come from?

I think that stems from the rumour that he wants input on player transactions, similar to what Patrick Roy has in Colorado.

Yeah, I don't know about GM but the rumours are he definitely wants a front office-type position as well as coaching.

 

[Highlander]

Then the Loafs are his team, more front office positions than any other team in sports,?come on down..waddy want?GM?ya no problem, V.P to Shanaplan, ya no problem?.5 million bucks?.Ya got in cash in the trunk over there. This team is not going to sit still I can tell you that.

They haven't for the last 10 years and look where that's taken us!

This is what I think too.  I'm not saying they won't kiss and make up, but when that last little rumor burstlet a couple of weeks ago saying that he had re-signed turned out to be false, my sixth sense began whispering that he's done there.

It was one thing to bring in blustery Burkie, but Shanaplan, Dubas, Hunter  are a whole different crew.  These guys will get it done and Chev whats another 10 years between Loaf fans anyway.  I was 11 when they won their last cup, to be fair I lost contact with them between 85-97 so took quite a long break.
