Summary
Edmonton Oilers are circling John Tortorella as a potential head coach if their top targets fall through, especially with Vegas Golden Knights possibly promoting internally. Tortorella’s Canadian coaching stint was brief and remote — a major shift from his U.S.-based career. Meanwhile, defenseman Darnell Nurse is reportedly seeking a trade to the East, with Pittsburgh or Philly in play, but his contract’s massive signing bonuses could complicate any deal — leaving the Oilers liable for portions even after a trade. With the NHL’s Mike Babcock probe looming and the draft and Board of Governors meeting on the horizon, this could be a whirlwind week for Oilers’ front office.
