If the Oilers plan all along was to let Knoblauch go, then their handling of this has been horrendous. If they wanted to explore Cassidy as an option, and if it didn’t work out retain Kris, then it was risky - if it got out, they’d be scuttling a coach they just re-signed and were considering keeping. The fact it got out made a return for Knoblauch impossible. Arguably the most important off season in 30 years for this franchise gets off to a rough start. Have to think Bowman and Jackson are very much on the clock as well. Fatigue and injuries only go so far in masking a body of work with some massive mistakes at critical junctures. Brett Kulak with a series winner last night puts an exclamation point on mishandled assets and mis-reads on players. Will be an interesting few months for the organization.

Remember way back, like 2 weeks ago when it looked like we were in way worse shape than them?

Leafs finished 15 points behind them, despite clearly not giving much of a fuck for the last quarter of the season (with Matthews out hurt and having one of the worst coaches of all-time). In a far more difficult conference with a far more difficult schedule.

And I only see a real, simple path for one of those two teams improving next year.
