Just Wondering…

With Craig MacTavish out as the head coach of the Edmonton Oilers, I wanted to gauge your thoughts on whether you folks think that former New York Rangers bench boss Tom Renney would be the right fit in Edmonton.
Let’s hear it folks.

Agreed on MacLean getting a shot. Look at the last Wings assistant to get a head coaching gig. Seems to be working out for him thus far.
Renney seems like a similar version of MacTavish. Need to go with a different style in Edmonton.
Go WINGS!

From what I remember, aren’t Renney and MacT both “player’s coaches”? If that’s the case, I was thinking a Bob-Hartley-type would be better-suited there for a change of apce.

For my money, Oilers GM Steve Tambellini should take a serious look at former Rangers coach Tom Renney. The two have a past relationship from their days together in Vancouver, where Renney was coach and Tambellini was working his way up the Canucks’ front office. Renney, by the way, is good friends with MacTavish. But Renney is an excellent teacher and the Oilers have a mostly young core.
