Did the Oilers Jump the Gun?

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee start with Jay Woodcroft getting fired in Edmonton and their takeaways from Ken Holland and new Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch's introductory press conference. They are joined by Oilers reporter for the Athletic Allan Mitchell (7:51), who shares his thoughts on Woodcroft's exit, Knoblauch's priority list for his first days on the job and Paul Coffey's role on the bench. Later, questions surrounding the NHL's international exhibitions and the league's long-term goal with these games. Finally, they wrap with Nikita Zadorov's agent leaking information on his trade request, Connor Bedard's incredible goal pace and the Hurricanes bringing back the Whalers' green.
