Why Jay Woodcroft was fired, and what's next for the Oilers
Written by I Dig Sports
The Edmonton Oilers fired head coach Jay Woodcroft and assistant coach Dave Manson on Sunday, as a preseason Stanley Cup favorite stumbled to a 3-9-1 start in its first 13 games.
The team has hired Kris Knoblauch -- who leaves the New York Rangers' AHL affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack, for his first NHL head-coaching job -- and Hockey Hall of Famer Paul Coffey as an assistant coach.
Why did this happen? What comes next for the struggling Oilers? Here's a look:
