Reading the latest articles regarding the Wings working to lock down Mike Babcock long term it got me thinking....shouldn't Howson be doing the same for Ken Hitchcock?
- The maturization of young stars Rick Nash, Nik Zherdev and Pascal Leclaire. All three of these players are off to career years under a full year of tutilage under Hitch. A knock on Hitch was that he doesn't like younger players -- bologne.
- Hitch is in the 2nd year of his 3 year deal. No coach like coaching in the final year of a contract.
- Hitch and GM Scott Howson seem to be on the same page in terms of the kind of team they want to build. From the outside looking in anyways, it appears they have a great relationship.
- He's great with the fans and media and will do whatever he can to help promote the organization and team in the community.

Good Call LTL. I think a 3-4 year extension is in order.
