This isnt the oilers hiring Coffey as the D coach when he's never coached anywhere relevant, this is a legitimate top 10 potential prospect that Conroy would know the character of better than any other GM in the league.
For fans, Tij could be a big reason for casual fans to sit through a rebuild

I'd certainly agree with that unless someone falls to us that our scouts project as a 1st line center, that has been such an organizational need for so long, could be almost negligent if we picked a winger over Lindstrom or Catton. I don't believe either of those guys are available at 8 to 10 however.
