The St. Louis Blues relieved Hitchcock of his duties on Wednesday, but the Toronto Maple Leafs bench boss doesn't think Hitchcock's career is over yet.
"I don't believe he's going away to retire, I just don't believe that," Babcock said, according to TSN's Mark Masters. "Someone will be happy to have him."
The Maple Leafs will take on the Blues in the club's first game with Mike Yeo as its head coach on Thursday night.
Meanwhile, a certain expansion franchise remains without a head coach.
