I don't think Tippett is the right fit for the Oilers, and the Oilers for him to be honest. The best he has done as a coach has been building from the net out where he could have his players play low event hockey and he could grind out some wins on the backs of solid defense and good goaltending. He has never been able to do that in Edmonton. In Arizona, he always seemed to get the most out of hard working depth guys, in Edmonton, he's not succeeding at that because he has star players to work around. Its funny that a coach can look so much better coaching middle of the road teams like Arizona was when he was there, than a team with the best player in the world and arguably the 2nd best.
I agree with this. He is a net out coach, but net out is where the oilers go from weakness to strength.
