Eakins fired ***UPDATED***

The Oilers have fired Dallas Eakins. Craig MacTavish will take over as head coach. He will be the only head coach/GM in the league.

I understand why they let Eakins go, his record was 36-63-14. They gave up too many goals and didn’t score enough, but the Oilers have many other issues. 

Craig MacTavish will speak to the media at 11:45. You can listen live on TSN 1260. He will announce that Todd Nelson will be coming up as an assistant coach. Unsure of what that means for current assistants. I don’t see the need to have four assistant coaches.

What are you thoughts on this move?
