Forget Babcock... Who will coach Detroit?

[Thesensation19*]

Lets say Babcock leaves... wherever...

Why is no one mentioning the new coach for Detroit?
I really have no idea who Detroit would go after.

Dan Byslma? I cant see that working out well. Maybe I am wrong
Torts? Nah...
Berube... no way

Hitchcock maybe...

Probably because everyone assumes Blashill will get the job.

 

[Bennett Brauer]

Yeah it's Blashill.

With that said, I can easily see Babcock staying in Detroit, despite popular opinion that he's gone.

 

[RedWingsForPresident]

Jeff Blashill from Grand Rapids or Todd McLellan

 

[hyduK]

Blashill.

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Lidstrom

 

[tsujimoto74]

Blashill.

If they get Babcock signed, though, I bet Blashill starts looking outside the org for an NHL gig. Would definitely give him strong consideration for Buffalo.

[Vesa Awesaka]

Paul Maclean?

Blashill. If Detroit re-signs Babcock, then id imagine Blashill leaves Grand Rapids for another NHL team. If Babcock leaves Detroit, then Id imagine Blashill gets promoted.

 

[Side Stache]

Teds Nolans.

Dallas Eakins is your man.......If you want Austen Matthews.

Considering odds of winning lottery...not really.

I agree with this. If Babcock does get a contract renewal I can't see how the Wings could stand in the way of Blashill's chance at a promotion somewhere.

Wouldn't shock me if Eakins went to another team and did well.

Not sure why he gets such hate for what has been an 8 year long dumpster fire which he oversaw for not even a year and a half.

I am sure if he had defensive competent players he could have done much better.

Don't get his hair wet. He's like a Gremlin.

 

[Bobby McKeyz]

yeah we can't all have luck like the Oilers

 

[Richiebottles]

Guy Boucher.

He would be a FANTASTIC coach for Detroit.

 

[Dick Whitman]

Paul Maclean is an interesting suggestion. From the Babcock coaching tree and already has a relationship with some of the Red Wing players. I can only assume that he's learned from some of the mistakes he made in Ottawa and Detroit probably doesn't have a players' GM. Could be a really good fit.

 

[Debrincat93]

Blashill if Babcock leaves. You could essentially close the thread because no other options will be valid.

I would be surprised but I wouldn't say it's impossible... and why all the hate? I'm paranoid of the loser cooties it may have caught in Edmonton.

 

[The Red Line]

Jeff Blashill, and this has been known for quite some time.

 

[Karlsson2Turris*]

Paul Maclean would do well with a vet team
