McDavid must have made an ultimatum this summer. Oilers are bending over backwards for him to ensure he's happy.

He’s got the yips though. Overthrows first.

Knoblauch is a former U of A player and teammate of current goalie coach Dustin Schwartz who seems to wreck every goalie they get. Too funny. And of course an old 80s boy Paul Coffey. How long until Messier is GM?

I love that Paul Coffey gets hired as part of the new coaching staff.... the Oilers never change. In two or three years they'll be tanking all over again

The next contract for McGM will probably include a 10% stake in the team

As much as it would've been sadly justified, Sutter would never turn his back on the Flames that way.
It was always Calgary or Chicago.
Gotta keep Baby Jesus happy

Guessing they would've been okay saving $4M per season, although good on them if the Oilers asked (I'm assuming not) and they said no anyways.

No Sutter except Duane has ever worked or (I think) played for the Oilers. Not counting Brandon who had a couple exhibition games this year.
Brent and Darryl were both technically available many times when the Oilers were looking for coaches the last 20 years, and far more suitable than any Oilers choices.
That family have their standards, even if they grew up just over an hour away from Edmonton.

IDK Edwards hates the Oilers...it would probably be worth 4M to him to tell them to pound sand and hire McDavid's fluffer

Lol who monkey paw'd this beautiful oilers season into existence? Definitely traded the good fortunes of our squad but it's pretty great entertainment as an outlet.
Seriously, could you write a better mid season coach replacement from a comedy perspective than mcdavids old junior coach and an old boys club no bench experience hire? It's gold, Jerry!

Draisaitl doing a gambling commercial with Pronger and now hiring Coffey as an Assistant Coach. You'd think they'd want to keep those two as far away from their golden boys as possible considering how their times in Edmonton ended.
What's next, bringing in Souray to advise McDavid on how to treat his injury? Mike Comrie as Capologist?
