Oilers Kick Tires on Babcock Hire - NHLPA Wants a Say

The Oilers are doing the one thing every front office does when a coach name gets hot - checking the temperature before they touch the stove. Mike Babcock’s name is back in the conversation, but this is not a casual background call; it is the kind of move that sends people down the hall reaching for old file folders. When the NHLPA gets involved, you know this is about more than Xs and Os, and Edmonton is testing how much heat it wants to invite into the room.
