## Resource

The Edmonton Oilers are reportedly eyeing Mike Babcock as head coach — a move sparking major concern given his NHL coaching hiatus since 2019, his infamous history of mistreating players across multiple teams, and the fact that the NHLPA was consulted before even considering him. While some players reportedly support the hire, Babcock’s pattern of targeting vulnerable players — not stars — raises serious questions about locker room chemistry and organizational culture. With limited playoff success since 2008 and a legacy of controversy, this gamble feels risky, potentially overshadowing any short-term gains.
