It sounds as though it’s only a matter of time before the Edmonton Oilers announce the hiring of Mike Babcock. The Oilers’ interest in Babcock is nothing new, as it’s been heavily reported throughout the month of June that ownership, management, and the leadership group of players were on board with hiring the 63-year-old as their new head coach. That said, they needed to get permission from the NHL until they were ordered to do so.

Timeline revealed for when Edmonton Oilers are expected to hire Babcock

The Edmonton Oilers have officially named Mike Babcock as the team’s next head coach. The controversial hiring comes after weeks of rumours connecting the Oilers and Babcock.

It’s sounding less and less likely that Bruce Cassidy will be hired by the Edmonton Oilers. While Mike Babcock is expected to be hired as the next head coach of the Oilers, pending an NHL investigation, there are still some holding out hope that Cassidy could still get the job. The veteran coach was widely seen as the early frontrunner for the Edmonton job, but the Vegas Golden Knights have been withholding permission from the Oilers to interview Cassidy.
