RedWingsRox 614 Report post Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) This is kind of ancient in today's terms of social media but no threads on this ... because we are all in a frenzy about Babwatch. Anyhow, as you all know by now, Oilers announced hiring of McLellan. Great choice, classy coach. Oilers will be a force to be wreckoned with in 2-3 years. Anyone know the dollars and terms? http://oilers.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=768169 P.S. Oilers didn't even request official permission to talk to Babcock.

Maybe they didn't want to spend 5 million when they could get the same thing for 2. 1 RedWingsRox reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RedWingsRox 614 Report post Posted May 20, 2015 If Babs goes to Buffalo, it will be an ongoing story line for next few years to see which coach can bring their respective teams to respectability. As an indicator, let's say the 1st team to make it to the playoffs. I'll say McLellan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

derblaueClaus 1,668 Report post Posted May 20, 2015 Congratulations to the Oilers. I guess that means they reach the playoffs now, but always get eliminated after in the first two rounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lwing 68 Report post Posted May 20, 2015 Call me crazy, but I thought our play took a noticable dive in quality when he left. I think he was (and is) a good coach. Glad he is working for real hockey fans and not a bunch of fair weather fan brogrammer tech start up geeks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted May 21, 2015 I'm happy for him and he basically confirmed what everyone knew oilers are going to pick McDavid . Man that franchise is the huge winner this year. So happy for Todd I think he is a great guy and will do very well there 3 e_prime, amato and krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
