As the NHL waits on the Oilers to make their decision.
If Edmonton wants to greenlight this potential hiring.

- As Darren Dreger, hot on the beat, coorborates:
-
There’s no timeline on how quickly this can be carried out. The Oilers are aware of this. Players involved, etc in 2023 will have to be interviewed. If Babcock were to back out at this stage, a league source says there would be no reason to investigate.
-
Putting in detail there is no timeline.
Meaning no guarentee to finish before-after Cup Finals.
Thus it could go well into June, the NHL Entry Draft.
Potentially past, into Free Agency, as well.
The Oilers are aware of how long this could take.
Player's involved in the 2023 supposed incident's.
As well subsquent, not firing, but esigning by Babcock.
They will be studied, questioned, prodded.
However, to source, if Babcock 'backs out,' now, it'll be dropped.
-
The 'scare' tactic won't work, Oilers don't care about personal image.
It is anything to Win.
Good on them.
