from Marty York at Metro News (Tuesday story),
NHL sources told Metro yesterday the Oilers are poised to complete a significant trade and/or fire coach Craig MacTavish, likely this week.
“They (the Oilers) have come nowhere close to what they expected to be this season and (club chief) Kevin Lowe is extremely annoyed,” an NHL source said. “Kevin’s just about ready to pull the trigger.”
The Oilers were supposed to be a contender this season. Oddsmakers reckoned they’d likely qualify for the playoffs. Yet they’ve turned out to be inconsistent, at best, and are below .500.
read on and if I recall previous stories from Mr. York, not many have come true.

Um… isn’t Steve Tambellini the GM of the Oilers now?
So wouldn’t he be the one making the move?

Wow, this article is really prophetic and/or pathetic.

York plagiarized one of my FoxSports stories a while ago. The stupid thing was that it was a tongue-in-cheek piece claiming some really outrageous player movement (like Bryan Marchment coming out of retirement) and he took it as fact and ran with it. I wouldn’t believe anything he said.
