    I don’t know anything about these gentlemen. Are they good additions?

      Hard to say. They’re both very early in their careers as NHL staff. Weber hasn’t coached at the NHL level before, and Babcock is only 28, and “finished this past NHL season with the Ottawa Senators, helping the coaching staff with developing game plans, pre-scouting and on-ice skill development. Before that, he spent two years working for his father as an assistant for the men’s hockey team at the University of Saskatchewan” according to ESPN.

        Ok thanks. I wonder who we will get to coach the D. I’ll do it cheap. “Forget everything you did last year, and try to do more of what you did the year before”

      Just FYI, this isn’t 60 year old Mike Babcock, but his son, Michael Babcock III

            I had a minor heart attack when I first saw the headline, before I realized it wasn’t him.
