It’s believed Mike Babcock has reached out to Tony Granato about joining him with Leafs. DET also wants Granato back.

If what Cox says is true that would be the third Red Wing staffer to be linked to the Toronto Maple Leafs after Babcock.
A few days ago, Red Wings assistants Jim Hiller and Andrew Brewer were also linked to be following Mike Babcock to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Normally assistant coaches are free to do as they please and, generally, the new coach brings in his own staff anyway so Hiller and Brewer shouldn’t be an issue.
