NHL Insider Provides Update on Babcock's Potential Future as a Coach in the NHL

Hockey insider Chris Johnston revealed the details that he believes Babcock's future as an NHL Coach is finished, as Columbus wasn't comfortable with the way he was handling the young players in the organization.

Absolutely not. This was already going to be his last job in the NHL. The way this has unravelled I don't see him seeking other employment and I don't see other teams coming knocking.

Columbus was reportedly frustrated by the way things went down with Babcock, but isn't planning to make any additional leadership changes this season.

The #CBJ ownership group has issued a statement saying it is "deeply frustrated" with the Mike Babcock situation but doesn't plan any further changes to the hockey operations department.
