We're supposed to be upset about two of the most forward thinking hires in the NHL when the Oilers have rape apologizer, and serial abuser who also suck at their jobs?

I look forward to the trade requests out of edmonton as well as the ability to sign FA

 

[Volcanologist]

I can only assume McDavid and Draisaitl loathe their teammates

Ya. The inability to sign cheap players will be the best part. And they already had to over pay

Horrible leaders

 

[Kritter]

I’m willing to bet the league spent the last week consulting with lawyers to see if they had any grounds to stop the hire for reasons that the oilers and or Babcock didn’t have grounds for a lawsuit

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Love that the Oilers wouldn’t let anything stop them from making this hire. What a clown organization.

I'm waiting for the Sheldon Kennedy letter

So if the investigation didn't turn anything up, then why did he resign/get fired?

It would probably earn Babs a bonus.

Katz probably also threatened a lawsuit if he wasn’t allowed to hire Babcock.

The investigation was whether or not they could legally bar him from the job and whether or not Babcock had grounds for a suit if he was barred.

They don’t give a shit about the rest.

Loilers.

If Babcock thought he was fired without legal cause, wouldn't he have made a bigger stink with Columbus ownership - instead he resigned and slinked back under a rock.

 

[Habsy]

That’s not at issue. This is all optics.

 

[Habsy]

It’s also highly probable that he was told to keep his head down and he’ll be let back in see: Quenneville.

 

[Cal Gal]

OBC's SOP.

You can be fired with cause without breaking the law and being banned from the league.

Didn't he technically quit?
