Nelson is very uncomfortable and unpolished with a microphone in his face. I don't think he could handle a Canadian hockey market.
That said, I think the guy has legitimate potential as a coach. Will he break through? Not sure, but when he was with the Oilers he reminded me of Jim Playfair with the Flames 10 years ago. essentially one of the organization's best prospects was a coach in the AHL. Playfair didn't pan out, but nelson should get a shot again somewhere.
