Does hiring Babcock adversely impact the Oilers ability to attract players they will be going after in free agency?
All the concerns about Babcock come from fringe players (Commodore, Corrado), rookies (Marner and unnamed Blue Jackets) and aging vets (Modano).
Why would the Oilers hire a coach (Babcock) that would adversely impact their ability to attract players to their organization? (This is rhetorical).
