@TSNHockey@TSNRyanRishaug@DarrenDreger VGK will lose tonight. Then begins their search for a new HC. Any available coach will jump on the opportunity. Big hairy BUT, will they add a clause to their contract that if they are relieved of their duties; they can seek a new job without permission. I hope they freaking do!
@Lowetide@SportnetSpec is it fair to say the #oilers are going into 26/27 with fairly the same line up minus some UFA's & 20+ minutes D-man along with it's current youth to round out the bottom of the line up. Was this year's team just missing a hard ass coach to make it all the way?
@Lowetide You have to wonder how the NHL exec. must be ticked off they have to dig up stuff they thought was buried because VGK are not letting anyone take their fired coach.

@yegsportstalk@ReidWilkins@JasonMilne@DamonBunting I like that Daryl Sutter for 1 year deal. Post game, pre games practice days meet the media would be epic. With sound bites that would last forever. Remember Hitch's frustration bit. ๐คฃ
@SportsnetSpec Maybe the Oilers can't find a better coach for another year if VGK doesn't release Bruce Cassidy. Or they go with an interm route. Possibly MacT. & Todd Nelson combination for 1 year. Given the shelf life of coach's in Edmonton it would be the best way to go: MJ23 style 1 yr deal
@TSN_Sports This will add contract claws to future contact for all coaches in the event a coach is relieved of his duties. This doesn't surprise me. I heard a long time ago that George McPhee was a real douch and other GM's didn't like working with him. Case and point confirmed
@FlamesNation@CraigJButton@SportsnetSpec I love this guy! Please Stan. Let's have fun with this and make him the next head coach of the #oilers. It would be awesome. The games will be super boring but at least we will have some laughs in the pregame and post game. Come on! Let's go!
@dstaples@Denny_Sawchuk Doc can look like a superstar at times. If he can only find a way to bottle that play and keep it forever. There would never be thoughts about trading him...also if he'd. Make 6 mil per season it would be a lot easier to digest sporadic play at times. But he makes the big bucks
@EdmontonOilers All I want this July 1st is no UFA signings by the Oilers. I'd want 1 big contract off-loaded. I don't care which. Just 1. Then play the farm. It works.
@SportsnetSpec It's an arrogant organization. This dates back from the Gretzky days. The only time this organization was humble is when it had 39 owners.
