Akin to Feterik bringing in Matt Dunigan to coach (and be GM!) of the Stamps that one year. Who knows if Eakins is ready yet to be a head coach but am guessing at some point he will when he has a roster that weren't full of low confidence under achievers not knowing how to play an NHL style game.

Didn't he also use the "Swarm Defence" and players on other teams mock the Oilers for playing like a junior team.
