Summary
Edmonton Oilers owner Daryl Katz, known for his demanding nature, has fired head coach Kris Knoblauch due to the teams poor season performance. Katz, who has a reputation for being one of the NHLs toughest owners, has gone through twelve coaches in seventeen years. The firing comes with a significant payout, as Knoblauch had a three-year extension worth up to ten million dollars. Katz is now searching for coach number thirteen, with the pressure to win a Cup intensified by star player Connor McDavids impending free agency.
