The Edmonton Oilers entered the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics on a bad note. The team lost three straight games heading into the break and digging into the numbers, it looks even worse as there are plenty of teams gaining ground on them in the Pacific Division playoff race with games in hand.
This has caused many fans to want the Oilers to make drastic changes behind the bench, especially with the struggles facing the team. Plenty of NHL insiders have speculated on the possible changes that could be made with a main theme being the Oilers potentially hiring back Paul Coffey to oversee the defence.
