“The Oilers have relieved Chris Knoblauch of his coaching duties,” Rishaug wrote. This comes just days after rumors surfaced about the Oilers’ interest in speaking with former Vegas Golden Knights head coach Bruce Cassidy.
This also comes about eight hours after the 2 Mutts Hockey Podcast shared some insights in its report.
“We’re hearing tonight that the Edmonton Oilers and Chris Knoblauch are working toward mutual parting ways,” the post said. “An official announcement by the organization is expected soon. It is our understanding that some players are upset with how this leaked to the public and how it was handled by the management staff. Chris is well liked and respected by the players.”
“The Oilers are also working toward interviewing Bruce Cassidy this week, with Bruce being the leading candidate for the new head coaching position. There are a lot of moving parts here.”
Cassidy has been linked to both the Oilers and Los Angeles Kings.
There’s more to come, as this is a developing story.
