Summary
The Edmonton Oilers are making a coaching change, parting ways with Kris Knoblauch and Mark Stuart. With the 2026-2027 season approaching, the team is seeking a new direction. Bruce Cassidy is a top contender, but competition is high with the Los Angeles Kings and Toronto Maple Leafs also interested. Darren Dreger suggests Craig Berube as a backup option, known for holding players accountable. Knoblauch, despite his recent departure, could be a strong candidate for the Maple Leafs head coaching position.
