5/5 🧵 There’s politics here too. Edmonton reportedly tried to get permission to speak with Bruce Cassidy before the firing was official, which tells you the front office was already shopping for the next guy. GM Stan Bowman also making this call suggests he and hockey ops president Jeff Jackson are staying put. Knoblauch gets paid through 2028-29 under his extension unless another team hires him. Bottom line: the coach is gone, but the Oilers’ real problem is the same one it’s been for years — elite stars, shaky support, no Cup. 📎 Source
