Ghostsof1915 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 From TheAHL. The Edmonton Oilers have hired Hartford Wolf Pack head coach Kris Knoblauch as their new head coach, the team announced on Sunday. Knoblauch, 45, was in his fifth season with the Wolf Pack. He guided the team to a record of 119-90-18-14 (.560) in 241 games, including a 7-3-1-0 mark so far in 2023-24. Last season, Hartford qualified for the Calder Cup Playoffs for the first time since 2015 and recorded series victories over Springfield and Providence before falling to Hershey in the Atlantic Division finals. In 2020, Knoblauch earned the honor of coaching the Atlantic Division team at the AHL All-Star Classic in Ontario, Calif. Assistant coach Steve Smith has been named interim head coach of the Wolf Pack, and will run the bench when Hartford visits the Providence Bruins this afternoon. Smith, 60, is in his third season with the Wolf Pack, and previously filled in as head coach for two games in 2021-22 while Knoblauch was called up to the Rangers due to COVID-19 protocols. Prior to joining the Rangers organization, Smith served as an assistant coach with the NHL’s Calgary Flames (1997-98), Edmonton Oilers (2010-14), Carolina Hurricanes (2014-18) and Buffalo Sabres (2018-21). He also played 804 games in the NHL and won three Stanley Cups with the Oilers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness, I'm not sure taking on Edmonton would be good for his coaching career, I'm not sure anyone is saving Edmonton this season and until they get management in place who are serious about addressing Edmonton's inability to keep goals out of their net I don't think anyone is going to last there as a coach. Coaches can only do so much with the pieces they're given. Better to be a complimentary coach on a team that folks seem to view as a contender imo. Team success will not only reflect well on the head coach in Jersey, but the assistants as well. If Travis takes on the Oil and they continue to spiral he may never get another head coaching gig again, at least he's got a shot at a cup in Jersey.

Wilbur Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 I don't think this is interim, they wouldn't poach the coaching staff from another organization if it wasn't. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasCanuck Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 I don't think coaching is the problem, time for a new management team. This is an attempt to mask bigger issues in the team chemistry, whic is a failure by Holland. They won last night, but McDavid etc, was not the one who led them to victory, it was more of their supporting cast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Woodys availability will put pressure on other coaches. He will get another HC job soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
