Former NHLer's praise suggests Mike Babcock can get the most out of Oilers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sean Avery was a rat before Brad Marchand ever learned the meaning of the word. He went further, acted worse, and pissed off more people, including his teammates on more than one occasion. So while he was hardly a model National Hockey League player, his recent praise of Mike Babcock -- the Edmonton Oilers new head coach -- suggests that the former Detroit Red Wings, Toronto Maple Leafs, and (almost) Columbus Blue Jackets bench boss has the skills to inspire his players. Heck, they literally mad
Evan Bouchard's offensive outburst suggests he might hit new heights (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Edmonton Oilers lit up the Winnipeg Jets in preseason action this weekend, and a peek at the box score suggests there's one Oiler who is planning on hitting the 2026-27 ice surface at full speed. Evan Bouchard contributed on all but one goal in the 5-2 drubbing of the Jets, and that performance suggests he's ready to play some hockey this season.

The winger scored 30 goals in the American Hockey League, playing for the Oilers' farm team, the Bakersfield Condors, which was good enough for 8th in league scoring. He also scored his first ever National Hockey League goal right before Christmas in a call up for the pro team. Hutson managed 63 total points last season, with 33 assis
The Oilers have given Mike Babcock a surprisingly long leash (opens the original)
Read excerpt
National Hockey League teams aren't held to a salary cap when it comes to coaching. There's not requirement to keep funds in escrow, or disclose salary terms to the public. Given the frequency with which NHL owners and general managers fire their coaching staff, it shouldn't surprise that some teams are choosing to withhold that information, rather than releasing it and then admitting once a coach gets fired weeks or months after an extension that they've made an error.
