Sources: The Edmtn Oilers are consulting with the NHLPA to see if there are objections that must be resolved before potentially hiring Mike Babcock. Amid allegations of invading players privacy, Babcock resigned in CBJ as Head Coach in 2023. Further investigation may be required.
I still regularly have dreams of breaking a skate lace and running around for a new one while the game starts, and watching K’Andre Miller not do much better than wrapping his whole foot in sock tape in overtime of a real Stanley Cup Final game isn’t going to help
If he wasn’t so clearly going to Vancouver to help them hit the cap floor with a good guy from western Canada who’ll be good in social media videos as they start their rebuild, I’d have assumed he’d be Connor Bedard’s RW for 70+ games next season
My belief is that the @EdmontonOilers will target an Experienced Head Coach with Gravitas who has had a history of having structure and process in his team's game...and has won before!
Unfortunately, Connor Bedard won’t be able to dress for Canada at the upcoming Worlds
Really wanted to go, but was told the best thing for next season was to rehab his injury and skip the event. So that is the decision.
