, but we know it won’t be Kelly McCrimmon.assistant GM isn’t in the running for the vacant position in Edmonton.— John Shannon The Oilers parted ways with Peter Chiarelli in January after nearly four seasons of consistent disappointment, despite boasting several first-overall picks including franchise centre Connor McDavid.
“You can’t define it in a couple words or a sentence but I want to make sure the general manager really can evaluate the players,” Oilers CEO Bob Nicholson told Sportsnet’s Gene Principe at the time Chiarelli was fired. “I think that we have really good assets but that’s the key, and I really want to have open communication.
McCrimmon spent nearly three decades in various roles with the WHL’s Brandon Wheat Kings, including owner, GM and coach, before joining the Golden Knights in 2016 prior to that franchise’s inaugural season in 2017-18. McCrimmon played an integral role in building the most successful expansion roster in NHL history.
