This is pretty stupid. Yes that would have been the thought, but Coffey has done well as a coach with the defensemen. So it's not so much moving the goal posts as recognizing the reality in front of us. You should try it.
I guess you don’t believe in change or redemptive growth?

Of all the old Oiler stars, Coffey was probably the least OBC of all.
First of the stars to get traded, didn’t come back to the Oilers looking for work after retirement from playing. He blazed his own trail, far apart from folks like Lowe, MacT etc..
The fact that Katz sought him out in an advisory role, 30+ years after initially leaving the club doesn’t sound OBC-ish. Sounds like one smart businessman bringing in another smart businessman, who also happens to know a lot about the industry. I mean, who knew that a player who was second only to Orr, when at the height of his game, could coach the position with so much skill and success.
I mean no, right? They're just stuff you think is true, those are very different.
It’s a signing bonus. It has zero effect on next years cap. Only performance bonus do.
You must have missed all the Katz Jock sniffing Coffey posts.I guess you don’t believe in change or redemptive growth?

I think it would be good to put Klingberg on the Mattias Ekholm career rehabilitation program. It worked wonders for Bouch
I quoted the guy claiming we need to bring in a good RD 'at any cost' as an 'all in' move
I agree. It's no surprise that the Oilers are having their best first half in the McDavid era now that they've removed all the boat anchors on D who can't move the puck. This team is built to be a strong transition team that defends by having the puck more than their opponents and by having their forwards apply back pressure on the opposing team's attack. They're not built to box up in their own zone and keep pucks to the outside.
So the fact that everything I said was factual and disrupts your narrative, it’s just spin. Ya, OK Bobby.
Katz was a friend to all the 1980s Oiler teams. I dont dispute that. They were all young and rich, living in Edmonton. Gee, I guess that’s a crime that DK made friends outside of his work place.
We have literally all our picks except for the 1st and 5th this year plus the 2nd and 3rd we have from STL are better picks then our own 2nd and 3rd would have been.
