I love how they let Kruger hang out to dry for a couple months after the season ended, and now he might not be able to find a position prior to the start of next year. If he wasn't the right man for the job now, why did they think anything else after the season ended? Not much changed since MacT took over as GM, so they should have let Kruger go then.
I hate when teams do that type of crap. If you're going to fire someone don't make him twist in the wind for a couple months. Be honest and up front about it, and give him the best possible chance to find future employment.
The Oilers constantly fare poorly in essentially every personnel decision, and today was no different.
Eakins might be a decent hire, but he could also be the AHL flavor of the month coach just like Guy Boucher was before he went to Tampa.
