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.
The Oilers did the exact same thing to MacTavish, Quinn and Renney.

Leaving their staff twisting in the wind has become organizational policy.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
