He is clearly a really good coach at the AHL level (yet to win a championship, though, at any level), but not all great minor-league coaches are cut out to make it in the NHL.
Eakins was one of
EIGHT coaches the Oilers have employed in the past eleven years, and he is easily one of the bottom two or three. While it is abundantly fair to point to a decade of Edmonton failure that affects everything at every level, Eakins showed NOTHING in his time there to suggest that he is a competent NHL coach.
I expect similar results when he is promoted in Anaheim.
