Confirmed with Link: Jay Woodcroft and Dave Manson fired - no more Woody during NNN - Kris Knoblauch hired, Coffey as assistant

Kris Knoblauch has a 0.554 points percentage in the AHL (255 points in 230 games for Hartford from 2019-20 through 2022-23).

I suppose that Holland hasn't been the de facto GM for a while now...
 
well, okay then.

No strong feelings about this. Especially knowing nothing about Knobo. I understand the desire/need to change things up in this situation though. I guess.

I just want team to win games.

So Dustin Schwartz survives. The best coach we’ve had in a while is fired and we hired Mcdavid’s OHL coach.

This is a disaster waiting to happen. Why tf would we hire Knoblauch? What credentials does he have at this point that make him qualified for the job besides history with Connor and Jackson?

f***ing brutal. Todd Nelson is a more accomplished coach than Koblauch is at this point, were better off bringing him back.
 
I don't think there would be next contract negotiations with Oilers if this new coach doesn't pan out

Possible. I think the side angle here is that the org can make mcDavid feel culpable in the success of the team because of how much has been done to please him, so we guilt him into sticking it out.

The Schwartzroach survives another A-bomb. Guy must have some dirt on Katz to survive this long.

Doubt Holland even has any say at this point, pretty clearly this team is run by McDavid and Jackson now. Any GM will just be a figurehead.
