Written by PuckMe    PDF Print E-mail

From tsn.ca.... Mike Babcock could've chosen to be a free agent next summer, shopping a coaching resume that includes a Stanley Cup and Olympic gold to the highest bidders.

The Detroit Red Wings didn't want to let Babcock go and he and his family wanted to stay. On Monday, Babcock signed a four-year extension that seems like a win for everyone.

"I'm a big believer that the grass isn't always greener, you just need to use fertilizer and water where you're at," Babcock told The Associated Press. "We got a good thing going here and this contract means I won't have to move my youngest daughter in high school."

Detroit, which hosts the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday night, is off to a 2-0 start in Babcock's sixth season with the storied franchise.
