Babcock Back in Edmonton?

Edmonton’s Oilers may be bringing back Mike Babcock behind the bench, with owner Daryl Katz personally leading talks. After passing on Bruce Cassidy, the team is now circling back to Babcock — a coaching legend with a Stanley Cup, Olympic golds, and 700+ wins — despite his polarizing reputation and past controversies. Reports say Babcock has already met with Oilers leadership, and the team is even consulting the NHLPA. This isn’t just a GM decision — it’s top-down, high-stakes, and unfolding in real time as the Oilers weigh every angle before making their move.
