Pierre LeBrun @PierreVLeBrun
The NHL is moving ahead with its investigation on Mike Babcock and events in Columbus as per NHLPA request.
This probably means the Oilers have given a thumbs up that they are sticking to wanting to hire Babcock?
Oh boy
Also, guess there is other stuff that never came out in public, and him asking for players phones to look through their pictures isn't even the big issue in Columbus:
Frank Seravalli @frank_seravalli
If #Oilers elect to continue down the path with Mike Babcock, sources say the #NHLPA is in receipt of âsignificantâ additional claims from their own investigation with players that were not publicly reported in 2023.
Those claims were presented to #NHL prior to his resignation.
Frank Seravalli @frank_seravalli
Furthermore, sources indicate that asking players to see photos is NOT what ultimately resulted in Babcockâs resignation. It was the subsequent (unknown) allegation reported below that cost Babcock his job in #CBJ.

Lol this is all so ridiculous.
I'm guessing this is more along the lines of Mike Commodore crying forever that his coach called him fat 20 years ago when he showed up to training camp fat.
It really is wild how worked up people in Edmonton are about this. Yeah coaches are mean to players sometimes. 20 years ago they probably said and did some things that wouldn't look great brought to the light of todays media landscape. Newsflash.
Anyway I would have been thrilled with this hire 10 years ago but now his age and how long he's been out of the league are definitely major concerns.
The part I don't like is just the way this whole thing has been handled and the absolute buffoons that the Oilers management look like right now. Like they couldn't possibly have looked any less competant over the last year and a half.

Now that the NHLPA and the NHL are getting in on the act to stop the hiring, I'm almost hoping he gets hired now. NHL smugly approves Vegas quarentining Cassidy indefintely soley so that the Oilers can't hire him.. and now both the NHLPA and NHL are acting together to stop the Oilers next pick for coach..
I listened to a Commodore podcast talking about MB.. he came off as a whiney, mouthy cry-baby.. "Babcock had it in for me".. ".. he wanted to end my career".. lol .. what career? the guy was a stiff..
After listening to him whine and complain on the podcast I came off thinking no wonder your coach sat you in the press box ..
Seravelli talking about rumours of "significance" .. which he admits he knows nothing about what it could be.. if it was so significant why did the NHLPA and NHL not follow up on it even after MB resigned.. if it was so significant.. and the NHL and NHLPA didn't follow up.. then isn't it a cover up? ..yeah we'll see :)
I'm hoping this turns into a circus for the NHL and Betman.. firing up the popcorn..
