Knoblauch out in EDM

[Backesdraft]

This is why you don’t let superstars pick the coach.

[TheJackBurton]

Imagine leading a team to the Stanley Cup finals 2 consecutive years and the playoffs in the 3rd and getting fired.

The NHL is just brutal.

It’ll be interesting to see who winds up in what chair when the music stops.

I don't have strong feelings about Knoblauch, good or bad, but they fired the wrong guy. Chiarelli replaced with Ken Holland, who was then replaced with Stan Bowman! My God, whoever is calling the shots, whether it is the owner or Jeff Jackson, they need to throw away the Toronto Maple Leaf playbook and bring in a good GM.

This guys resume is pretty hard to beat....can't imagine he was the problem.

I believe this will be just another bad move by a poorly run franchise....with too many "bosses".

Even Jackson was the one who signed a bunch of veterans before locking down Broberg and Holloway. Bowman was the one who didn’t match our offer sheets, but Jackson got them into that hole in the first place.

It’s just a mess of a leadership group there. Feel bad for McDavid and Drai. Those guys leave it all out on the ice and keep getting held back by incompetence.

Maybe Vegas has eased up on their silly stance of not allowing Cassidy permission to talk to EDM. Sounds like Cassidy has wanted to coach the Oil, with LAK being second and the Leafs a distant third. Guessing we are going to be hearing about a Cassidy hire in EDM in the next 24-48 hrs.

Knoblauch’s three-year extension was set to kick in next season. Oilers will still owe him that.

This. Katz deserves this mess for hiring these two shmucks. Especially Bowman, a nepo hire, who has a predilection for protecting pedophiles. They are such (donkey)(censored) that they had to fire knoblauch after it was outed they sought permission from vegas to speak to cassidy. Such an unlikable crew starting from katz on down.

Good takes. Spot on.

What waste and mismanagement of talent. What could have been.

I remember a couple months ago I called the Oil a trash organization and said I liked watching them fail and people came out of the woodwork to remind of their 2 consecutive Cup appearances. 2 of the best hockey players in the league and their greatest accomplishments are failures.

Imagine signing a 3 year extension and never even getting to work a single day of it.

They should give Hitch another crack at it. They need structure…he can provide it
