I obviously haven't been paying much to Eakins' coaching over the past couple seasons, I guess I'm just not sure what makes him mentioned so often lately. Is it purely his work with younger players, or is it more than that? Unless he's just the flavor of the month, there must be something special about the guy if he's getting interviews and a team like the Oilers are enamoured enough with him to fire their coach after one shortened season to bring him in as a replacement.
