Hey, it's Bob Stauffer. I just wanted to let you know that you can listen to Oilers Now ad-free on Amazon Music, included with Prime. All right, it's 5.07 in oil country. Bob Stauffer with you on Oilers Now, title sponsor, World of Spas. Our spotlight conversation's coming up in about three minutes, and it's going to be with Louis DeBrusque. And it's brought to you by our friends at Cowan Graphics, trusted for over 80 years to bring your brand to life, proudly Canadian. Visit cowan.ca, part of the Burke Group.

Home and no payments and no interest for a year.
That's a bill of legacy, legacy heating and cooling. The National Hockey League earlier today issued a statement following regarding its investigation of Mike Babcock. The lead has completed its review of Mike Babcock's tenure in Columbus and of certain alleged conduct associated therewith. Our investigation has concluded that even in a light... least favorable to mr babcock there's no current basis to restrict his employment in the national hockey league in the league well i think we're headed down an inevitable path here could foresee a scenario possibly say tuesday where we have the press conference and i do not believe for a second it'll solely be mike babcock that'll be coming aboard and joining the edmonton order staff so keep that in mind as well
The Burger King, Texas on the Ashley Fine Floors text line. Bob, the whole Mike Babcock narrative. You can text us at 780-451-8800. The Ashley Fine Floors text line. Get the new floors you always wanted at Ashley Fine Floors, 143rd Street, 111th Avenue. Open Monday to Saturday. Bob, the whole Mike Babcock narrative is beyond delusional and people are buying it only to criticize the Oilers. Uh, The reality is it doesn't matter who's behind the bench. It's who skates on the ice. The coach can only do what he can do on the bench, not on the ice. Get over it. The GM should focus on upgrading the roster more than he does the coaching staff. That one comes to us from the Burger King. Bob, you didn't ask Jerry anything about Sebastian Cosa.
Anything new there? No, I did not ask Jerry about Sebastian Cosa because I asked him the last time he was on the show yesterday. about a week and a half ago, and there's nothing new to report. I will tell you I'm hearing rumblings that Devin Levi's name is getting out there from the Buffalo Sabres. I do not believe Mikey DiPietro, the Bruins are going to make him available, but I do believe teams that have a good young goaltender are concerned about losing players like a Cosa, like a Levi on waivers. And will that result in some different things taking place? Again, you can text us at 780-451-8800. Keep it coming. Bob, I could care less if the Oilers hired Babcock as a head coach. What I need is my team winning and being pushed to bring their talents out and give us the results they're being hired for, not for a coach to babysit them.
We heard that noise when Kane and Corey Perry were signed and later the... We were calling for him. Well, I mean, I got to tell you right now, Corey Perry is a player that there was immense respect for in the Edmonton Oilers dressing room. He didn't say a lot, but his words mattered. There you go.
What is the latest news regarding Mike Babcock's investigation?
Rusty says, Bob, in your honest opinion, is this hiring going to hinder us bringing in free agents from Rusty? Rusty, we just talked about Dan Milstein yesterday. And today had Jerry Johansson on the show, two actual agents with actual significant books full of players. And by books, I mean lots of clients. Guys going on the record saying they have no issue with the hiring. And they've already talked to, you know, certainly in the case of the owners have Colton Dock and Matt Savoy that are with the sports corporation. So, no, I think that Conor McDavid and Leon Dreisaitl are guys that can help recruit players. And I believe that when the players are part of the process, and again, to reiterate, from ownership to management to the players, they were on board with this decision.
