Per sources, the Kings and Penguins are two teams Nurse would accept a trade to.
More on that, Hellebuyck, and other chatter across the NHL in today’s latest piece https://t.co/Y8tpRs9Bkx
The #SeaKraken have hired Patrik Allvin as vice-president and assistant GM, reuniting with GM Jason Botterill.
They previously worked together in Pittsburgh.
Plenty of good quality head coaches who deserve a shot at a job….
Practically every team looking for a new coach: nah I’m good let’s go through the old boys club and hire the same coach over and over
@FriedgeHNIC I’m one episode behind so apologies if you mentioned it but the connection for why Toronto is interested in Pavelski is probably because of Marleau
There’s no timeline on how quickly this can be carried out. The Oilers are aware of this. Players involved, etc in 2023 will have to be interviewed. If Babcock were to back out at this stage, a league source says there would be no reason to investigate.
Stan Bowman considering hiring Mike Babcock in Edmonton, while Carter Hart starts tonight in the Cup final. Always sad for hockey when people with questionable character keep getting opportunities ahead of others who have proven integrity.
It astounds me that teams continue to try to hire a coach like Mike Babcock…. There are several other coaches out there who would be 1000x better. But then again it’s Stan Bowman…
A lot of people seem to have no recollection of the Johan Franzen incident or weren't following hockey at the time. But it was bad, Chelios vouched, and it went far deeper than Franzen. Babcock is a bad person, the Oilers should be ashamed if they hire him.
Undrafted.
111 AHL Games.
3 Different Organizations.
Waivers.
Oh and 31 regular season wins, fastest goalie to 11 wins, and a winning start in the Stanley Cup Final for Brandon Bussi 🔥
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.
