Oilers Weigh Babcock Hire Amid Past Controversy
Description
The Edmonton Oilers are eyeing Mike Babcock as their next coach—but first, they must navigate a minefield of controversy. Babcock abruptly quit his Blue Jackets job before coaching a game after allegations surfaced that he invaded players’ privacy, including reportedly asking them to show him their phones and ranking teammates—including embarrassing rookie Mitch Marner. Now, with Connor McDavid locked in long-term, the Oilers must consult current players to see if Babcock’s baggage could derail their championship push. A risky move, but one that could define their future.
