No Babs for them I guess.

Every team with a question mark in terms of coaching is going to wait to see what Uncle Mike does. If he becomes available, it’s going to be a frenzy of teams. I could see a situation unfold where Berube is kept in place and Babcock becomes available and then Philly makes their Babcock push without firing Berube.

Or, if Babcock is available along with other attractive candidates (e.g., McLellan), they might fire Berube knowing they can upgrade.

This is obvious wait-and-see if someone better becomes available.

“At this point, the decision hasn’t been made. He’s still our head coach.” -Hextall

Well, that doesn’t come off well.  Maybe would have been better to say, “Nothing new to talk about”.

Or Hex could just give the same quote every day until they do decide to can him.
