Why the Edmonton Oilers’ Biggest Challenge Isn’t Coaching—And What It Means for Their Future
As Dave Pagnotta of The Fourth Period said on TSN Radio in Montreal, there is not just one or two holes to fill; there are multiple holes to fill in a three to four-week period.
“This is the other thing that’s kind of part of all of this. Yes, they have to make a coaching change, and yeah, it seems like right now it’s either, it’s presumably Babcock, but guys, they have so many changes they need to make to that roster.
Oh yeah, this isn’t just a ‘Hey, okay, we need a coach, and we need to fill one or two holes.’ This is, we need to coach, we gotta find Darnell Nurse a new home, we have to rejig the blue line, we need a 3C, we have to fix our fourth lines, and we want to winger with foot speed to keep up with McDavid and (Zach) Hyman on that top line. Okay, well, get to work, that’s a lot.”
