This is going to be a brief post because there’s really not much to report. Mike Babcock hasn’t made a decision on his future. He doesn’t know if he’ll be back in Detroit coaching the Red Wings next season, or if he’ll be somewhere else.
“I’m not trying to snow you,” he told reporters today. “I don’t know.”
And so, over the next 10 days, Babcock will talk it over with his wife (a.k.a. the real “boss”) and meet with Red Wings GM Ken Holland.
After that, there should be something real to pass along.
We suppose if there was one interesting thing Babcock said today, it might have been this:
Babcock reiterated he doesn't have skill set to be GM. Not interested in it. "Do I want to have input? Yes. Do I have input here? Lots."

Feel free to try and parse something out of that.
Just don’t go overboard with your parsing, because...
Babcock: Says people are trying to read into everything I say. Kenny and I haven't even met. We meet. I'll have a better handle.
