    Can't blame him, the Oil tried to keep him in the system when they bailed on the roadrunners, can't expect the guy to put his career behind other people's plans
    I will not, for a moment longer, support an organization who chooses to cowardly kneel where they once fiercely & proudly stood

      I was just reporting, not judging.

      Good for him.

        I can understand the reason for doing this as an NHL coaching job is something that you don't get offered everyday. That being said doesn't look great that you take the headcoach job the couple of months ago and then leave before doing any work so to speak.

          This is good news for the Oilers in my opinion.

          Gack! Sounds from other sites that Buchberger is the guy to take the job. Oh well, the good news didn't last long.

            To be fair, they have been developing Bucky into a coach for years now, pretty much since he retired from the NHL. Word on the street is that is has exceeded everyone's expectations in this regard.

            Please don't be one of those who thinks the Oil went down a list to find the next member of the boyz club who didn't work for the Oilers. This has been in the works for a while.

              In that case he should have been chosen over Ward. As for the other bit. When the Oilers make ANY hire outside the old boys club then fans can look at it differently. Is Buchburgers coaching resume better than anyone else out there? If so I have no problems with the hire.

              This has been in the works for a while.

              This one statement really indicates that it is part of the old boys mentality if it has been in the works for a while.

                Claude Julien is the Head Coach. Ward will be one of the assistants.

                    Whether as an assistant or a replacement, I think Rob Daum might be someone else to consider.

                    He did a decent job down in Houston for Minnesota's farm club, and assuming he doesn't come back to UA I'm pretty sure he doesn't currently have a job anywhere.
