Probably not or it (PROBABLY) would have happened already. Maybe between now and September he'll be in touch with teams and someone will bring him on as an assistant. Maybe he can negotiate for a buyout from Edmonton on what's left of his deal (I'm not sure what's left on it or if they haven't already gave him a buyout) between now and then, so the team that hires him only has to pay him like an assistant and not what the Oilers were paying him last year and what they would be paying him this year.Any chance the Devils look to Jay Woodcroft as another head for the staff? Doesnt even have to be a bench opportunity, per say; though we dont have an Associate coach (but hed likely have a position if that were the case and idt thatll happen)

It feels like sometimes when you're still under contract with your last team (unless you're a HUGE name, Woodcroft is not that at this point, he's only had one head coaching job in the league) sometimes teams don't wanna pay what's owed to you, as they most likely feel you're not worth what the other team is paying you. Certainly not as an assistant. And they don't wanna be on the hook for that.
Much like USELESS who was here last year. He sat out the first full season after he was fired. Though I'm pretty sure he was still under contract with the Canucks last year when he was an associate coach/interim here for a year. I think his contract with them probably ended as of the end of this past season and then Ottawa came knocking.
In the event that we did bring him in as an assistant, it will likely be a one and done like Brunette was. There's a good chance someone hires him in 2025-2026 if the team he's an assistant for in 24-25 has a good season. Especially with more jobs opening up in the next season. There's always new jobs opening up. Perhaps the Oilers roaring back to make it within a win of the cup after he was fired hurts his stock around the league. We'll see if he gets hired somewhere next offseason. There probably weren't enough jobs left this offseason.
Yeah if anything itd probably have to be some sort of advisory role where hes up in the suite; we have enough heads on the bench. Still not a bad idea for him if there isnt another job that enticesI don't think so. Colliton is an assistant coach but has been a head coach before, and all the roles are already handed out.
Wheres that @njdevils1982 version of this
Hear Ye! HEar Ye! HEAR ye! H--E--A.--R Y--E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WHY CANT WE INVITE CENTERS!?!?!?
First name says Russian.
Last name says African.
City of Birth says Canadian.
That's a hell of a mix.
HDB has his listed weight at 205.
Crazy that he’s signed for under 8 million for the next 7 seasons. Love this player.

If we are doing away with age limitations then I’m drafting Hutson’s first born second overall, guy or girl. You can’t ignore genetics this good.Meh. Forget about Bratt. Where would Lane Hutson go in a redraft is thr real question. I think he goes ahead of Matthews AINEC.
I think keefe/fitz said the staff was set and woodcroft is in the running for the Columbus job if I recall.Any chance the Devils look to Jay Woodcroft as another head for the staff? Doesnt even have to be a bench opportunity, per say; though we dont have an Associate coach (but hed likely have a position if that were the case and idt thatll happen)
Pretty good take on us from one of our rivals writers:

Penguins vs. the Changing Metro: Uh Oh, the Devils are Back
The Metropolitan Division has long been the best or at least produced some of the best teams in the NHL. However, the salary cap and age are catching up with the lions of the Eastern Conference, and change is coming, and it might be coming in the form of the New Jersey Devils.
