I think with Babcock at the helm, they will just improve. The best thing that Shanahan did was to sign him to an 8 year deal. Reason being, every player in the room knows that he will be there longer than they will so they better jump on board with the system.
Also, for so many years prior to Shanahan arriving, players felt entitled and arrogant.
It's tough to feel arrogant in front of a Hall of Famer with a Stanley Cup ring and an Olympic Gold for Canada.
I like what he's done so far.
