"I don't think there's anybody more committed to Edmonton than Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl... I expect the next contract to be a seven-year extension."
@Bob_Stauffer joins @Mattymar89 and @FutaMichael to discuss the ongoing conversation surrounding McDavid's future.
This isnโt about being allowed (though it sure can be). Itโs about him being over a decade removed from being a successful NHL coach. Why would you hire that for a team in this position?
If the Oilers plan all along was to let Knoblauch go, then their handling of this has been horrendous.
If they wanted to explore Cassidy as an option, and if it didnโt work out retain Kris, then it was risky - if it got out, theyโd be scuttling a coach they just re-signed and were considering keeping.
The fact it got out made a return for Knoblauch impossible.
Arguably the most important off season in 30 years for this franchise gets off to a rough start.
Have to think Bowman and Jackson are very much on the clock as well. Fatigue and injuries only go so far in masking a body of work with some massive mistakes at critical junctures.
Brett Kulak with a series winner last night puts an exclamation point on mishandled assets and mis-reads on players.
Will be an interesting few months for the organization.
League sources say #Oilers have sought permission to interview Bruce Cassidy as they contemplate significant coaching staff changes.
To this point, sources say @GoldenKnights have withheld permission from division rival.
Gamesmanship? Perhaps. Mostly unprecedented for role.
