Dave Hodge With Advice For Mike Babcock

05/09/2015 at 12:26pm EDT

from Dave Hodge of TSN,

I guess Detroit could be mentioned as well, although anyone who thinks Babcock will remain where he is would have a hard time explaining why.

I won't pretend to guess where he might land, but I will tell you what I'd say if he asked for my advice.

If his main aim was to sign the most lucrative contract possible, I'd tell him to interview in Toronto in the morning and Buffalo in the afternoon and see which of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment and Terry Pegula would be willing to make him almost as rich as they are.

If he liked the challenge of re-making a dynasty and coaching hockey's next great superstar and working with people he knew well, I'd tell him to go to Edmonton.

And if he wanted to find the quickest way to win another Stanley Cup, he'd be advised to wait and see what happens with Ken Hitchcock in St. Louis before doing anything else.

more plus the waived off goal against the Caps last night...
