The Athletic is reporting that Dale Tallon is a candidate to join the Penguins in some capacity, which is freaking amazing.

Thanks for the find Herman. I don't recall reading that he posted it for the team. I recall reading he showed the list and that's exactly what he did.
End of the day I don't buy his excuse. He took a private conversation between a player and a coach and used what was said/written to try and "motivate" Bozak.
I think Babs should have aired it out with the team regardless of Mitch's decline. Easy enough to explain what a jerk you were and how you screwed him. It probably would have went a long way in the respect game.

Was this ever part of the original reporting? I mean I could be wrong but I really don't recall anyone saying that he literally went and posted Marner's list for everyone to see. And I checked a couple of the original stories and didn't find that there either. Maybe I just missed it, but Babcock's central defence here is that he didn't do something that nobody accused him of doing.

I kind of feel like doing that with Mitch, then showing it to Bozak and seeing Bozak get pissed off and then recognizing 'oh that wasn't a good idea' isn't really all that great of "hey the story was overblown" kind of thing. And what coach thinks that going to a rookie you just threw under the bus, and then standing up in the dressing room and trying to protect him from something that is obviously not going to be taken well fixes the problem.
"Hey, umm guys, so I know Mitchy said you don't work hard and stuff, but umm lay off the guy and ah it's on me guys"
Pretty sure that doesn't put the fire out.

This is one story, where I would really like to know what happened (in detail), seems to be a lot of clandestine stuff for sure.herman said:

Tanked Pittsburgh's defence and then said "peace out".
edit: ok but in all seriousness I hope everything is well with him.

Hope Jim is Ok heath wise. Man he seems to have been around forever. Even a Leaf goalie at one point. Jeez.
Oh Penguins, I heard Mark Hunter is available!

I'm skeptical about that since morning radio show hosts generally aren't the most connected people in the sports world. But I mean I think something must be up here so I guess it's possible.
