NHL will probe Babcock as Oilers weigh him for coaching job

NHL will probe Babcock as Oilers weigh him for coaching job

The NHL will investigate Mike Babcock’s brief Columbus tenure after the NHL Players’ Association informed the Oilers it wants a review before approving a potential hire. The probe will involve interviewing former Blue Jackets players and has no set timeline, and would proceed even if Babcock remains interested. The NHLPA’s involvement stems from past allegations that he asked players to share personal photos on their phones. The Oilers, seeking a replacement for Kris Knoblauch, point to Babcock’s NHL pedigree—2008 Stanley Cup with Detroit and Olympic gold with Team Canada in 2010 and 2014—as potentially relevant to their coaching search.

Laviolette Poised to Coach the Kings on a Three-Year Pact

Multiple reports say the Los Angeles Kings will hire Peter Laviolette as head coach on a three-year deal, beating out interest from the Oilers and Maple Leafs; a formal announcement and press conference were expected soon. Laviolette has a history of quickly lifting teams (Isles, Hurricanes, Flyers, Predators, Capitals, Rangers), but longer tenures have sometimes cooled, so a three-year term fits the Kings’ plan for a refreshed voice and offseason changes.
