Lets hope this is a masquerade, remember that Burke tossed Wilson a new contract before he was axed. It is not unreasonable for the Leafs to extend for this period, making a statment to the players, that their asses better be moving real quick next season whilst trying to make the Babcock arrangement. If Randy falters, as he will, then he is jettisoned with a few bucks (same as Ronnie) as MLSE can well afford to do this. Hope I am making sense but there didnt seem to be a whole lot of replaceable coaches out there that I would have cared to hand the reigns over to at this point, but Babcock would be the man I would choose to be behind the bench.
