Insider Elliotte Friedman revealed Babcock met directly with Oilers leadership, including stars McDavid and Draisaitl, sparking speculation about player and union concerns, though no concrete objections emerged. The league’s cautious phrasing suggests legal scrutiny was thorough, leaving room for Babcock’s return. While his coaching legacy may raise eyebrows, key free agents like Dickinson and Murphy have already re-signed, hinting player loyalty may outweigh coaching drama. The official announcement is imminent, and hockey fans are already buzzing about what this means for the Oilers’ future. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
