And nobody said that I liked Chris Knobloch.

Former NHL Executive, Player, Agent Brian Lawton (5/12/26)

I think he's an excellent coach, but if I were working for the club, I would for sure do the same thing.

In my opinion, he's made the right call.

It doesn't mean he's going to make a change, but it does mean that it's not going to be a cursory.

We had a self-review, and this just happened with a club, and we've determined that we're in good shape.

That's a joke.

They did their own audit.

This is more, you know, real-world due diligence.

Oilers NOW with Bob Stauffer
Former NHL Executive, Player, Agent Brian Lawton (5/12/26)

How are we going to get better?

Oilers NOW with Bob Stauffer
Former NHL Executive, Player, Agent Brian Lawton (5/12/26)

Every day, when you come to the office, you start with that question.

Oilers NOW with Bob Stauffer

And that's the mode that the Oilers are in now, and it's exactly what they should be doing.

Oilers NOW with Bob Stauffer
Former NHL Executive, Player, Agent Brian Lawton (5/12/26)

It's definitely the easiest path forward.
