EDMONTON — Jay Woodcroft and Dave Manson's fates were already sealed before the Edmonton Oilers took the ice in Seattle Saturday night.
The Oilers had to reach out for permission because Knoblauch was in his fifth season coaching the Hartford Wolf Pack, the Rangers’ American Hockey League affiliate. Paul Coffey, who was already with the organization as an adviser to owner Daryl Katz, will replace Manson. "These guys are here to play hockey, they know that. They don’t like being involved in these types of decisions.”
"You can get into a debate if 12 games or 13 games is enough. I think if we would have waited another 10 games and if things don't change it’s probably too late. So Jeff and I felt something needed to be done.”
