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.
