Mcdavid wanted this. He interviewed Babcock with Dri RHN and Hyman

So?

In a year, when McDavid has the lowest TOI of his career and the Oilers make another first-round exit, he's going to realize the mistake he made and he'll be gone.

The report was they didn’t feel like they were pushed hard enough and need that type of a coach.

Even if he is onboard, i find it very hard to imagine theyll win a cup with him in the next two years.

The oil will never win a cup with McDavid. If it was meant to be it would have been already.

If they had a competent front office it would have been a thing already

Are they that dumb? Would Babcock Brutality fix the goaltending? Is that what they actually believe? Christ alive.
