Mike Babcock is about to be announced as the next head coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets, after weeks of speculation that he might be looking to return. Darren Dreger reported the news but brought some more info along with his report.
According to Dreger, Babcock has been waiting to sign so his contract with the Leafs officially expires, and he gets paid the whole amount. We should be getting an announcement shortly and will see Mike Babcock back in the NHL soon.
