Edmonton Oilers: With a recent record of 1-6 in their last seven games, everyone saw the firing of Todd McLellan coming from a mile away.

Many are wondering why the Oilers decided to go with a coach that has been deemed by many to be part of an old-school club who’s style isn’t suited for the new age NHL.
And it’s not like the Oilers didn’t have a shortage of quality candidates to choose from, ever hear of a guy named Joel Quenneville?
