He is part of the rebuild and working with rookies is his challenge. Working in the centre of the hockey universe has its own challenges, but looks like the team behind the team are doing a good job.  
Frankly my enjoyment of this team and babs as coach has increased immensly from even last year. Course the base will expect improvement in the coming years. 
I go to some games mostly on the glass leaf end half boards so i can just have a quick skoot to the plat lounge, mostly been trying the seafood chefs special and napa chardonay for enquiring minds. Wore kadri, nylander, marner, sighned of course.  My point being you would be surprised to see that excep between the blueline plats, all the average( loose term) folks and families at the games. Just a bunch of leafers that have generally great knowledge and assesment of the leafs and the teams they play. Top notch folks.
