In a surprising turn of events, Mike Babcock is making a comeback to the NHL as the newly appointed head coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets. It's been quite a wait for the official announcement, which appears to be related to the expiration of his contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs at the end of this month.
Babcock brings with him a vast amount of coaching experience, having previously led both the Detroit Red Wings and the Maple Leafs. However, there have been concerns raised about his treatment of players, which has raised some eyebrows.
Nevertheless, the addition of Babcock to the Blue Jackets' coaching staff brings a seasoned leader who can provide valuable knowledge and expertise as the team embarks on a fresh chapter under his guidance. Fans and analysts will undoubtedly be keeping a close eye on how Babcock's coaching style will impact the team in the upcoming season.
