Gregor had a great article up on OL. It mentions that Oates now is a skill coach and guys like Purcell hire him.
Do you not think it would be smart for Edm to think about hiring Oates full time as their own skills coach? Do you remember what he did for our young centre's in 03-04.
Horc and Stoll mentioned how much Oates helped them learn the art of the face off etc.
Oates made Purcell cut a few inches off his stick and now he is playing much better.
There is no salary cap on coaching staff. I wonder if it would be wise for Edmonton to look into hiring Oates? He doesn't even have to be on the bench...
