The Edmonton Oilers are ready to support Darnell Nurseβs trade request but are still unsure how they will replace his NHL Leading 7 own-goals last year.

Darnell Nurse is going to get dragged a lot after his trade request but the truth is regardless of some of his crazy stats like own goals and defensive lapses in high pressure situations he still has a ton of value on another team.
Exceptional teammate and person
Fully engaged in every game
Protects star players
Sacrifices for blocked shots
Can play in all situations including PK/PP
Insanely Athletic and durable
Can log huge minutes consistently
Great mentor and good for team culture
Extremely High work ethic
Punishing hitter and tough physically
Drags others into the fight
Coachable and receptive
Heβs not a guy you win a championship with on your 1st pairing but could see him landing and having a perfect role on a rebuilding team - which absolutely has value. Especially with some retention to put him in the pay range of that type of player.
Not his fault he was overpaid and overplayed by the Oilers.
All the best Doc π«‘π«‘π«‘

My guess would be:
San Jose: 4/5 D man and bodyguard for the kids
Toronto: He can punch anyone in the mouth that makes fun of Gavin McKennaβs mom

Oilers Management should be absolutely ashamed of themselves for hiding behind the player leadership group.
Itβs McDavid, Draisaitl and Hymens job to play hockey, train and recover NOT to hire a suitable coach.
Check-in with them sure - but leaking (again!) to the media that the leadership group supported it as an excuse for a bad descision is cowardly garbage.

Fans should also be able to submit incident reports for the NHL investigation into Mike Babcock too.
He is ruining my summer and clearly has a complete disregard for my mental health.

So Kris Knoblauch was so timid, unprepared and disengaged that the Oilers players are begging for a coach with structure, attention to detail and accountability.
This is why you fire when itβs obvious and donβt let these things fester. Now the pendulum is swinging too far.

Edmonton Oilers Managements offseason so far.
Pursue Cassidy before they fire Knoblauch.
Not granted permissions to meet with Cassidy by VGK. It leaks.
Knoblauch fired after it leaks.
Explore trading Nurse despite NMC. It leaks before they talk to him.
Decide to hire Babcock for some reason.
NHLPA steps in to force NHL Investigation.
What a absolute clown show. π€‘π€‘π€‘

Further to what @DarrenDreger reports here, the NHL is awaiting word from the Oilers. Which is to say, if Edmonton wants to go ahead with the Babcock hire, then the league will go ahead with its investigation as per the NHLPA request. But that's if the Oilers decide to go ahead with the hire.

The NHLPA has asked the NHL to move forward with an investigation into the allegations Mike Babcock invaded players privacy during his time in Columbus.

Connor McDavid has signed 3 contracts with the Edmonton Oilers and just leaked that heβs ready to sign his 4th contract for 7 more years with the team.
The definition of commitment and class.
Other Captains should take notes. π

The Edmonton Oilers ran an extensive coaching search and found that only one man could keep the Penis name trend going:
Ken Hitchcock
Dave Tippett
Jay Woodcroft
Kris Knoblauch
Mike Babcock π

Donβt worry guys Mike Babcock is going to pull a Mitch Marner and become the best playoff performer in the NHL now that he is not in Toronto

There is no team in pro sports that is better at identifying a glaring weakness and then making it significantly worse than the Edmonton Oilers.

If you did an organizational audit after that failure of a season and came up with βthis team needs Mike Babcock as coach.
You should probably never have the right to do an organizational audit ever again.

What is the case for hiring Mike Babcock (other than continuing the penis last name coaching streak)? Someone talk me into this please.

Do Stan Bowman and Jeff Jackson have any contacts without Toronto Maple Leafs ties?
Do they actually have a network of their own?

Sources: The Edmtn Oilers are consulting with the NHLPA to see if there are objections that must be resolved before potentially hiring Mike Babcock. Amid allegations of invading players privacy, Babcock resigned in CBJ as Head Coach in 2023. Further investigation may be required.
