Oilers hire Sylvain Rodrigue to consult on goaltending, reporting to Fred Chabot. Hailing from Quebec with extensive overseas experience.

Maybe he can help convince some of the European goalies he's worked with to come over and sign with us.

OK thank god this is a Krueger connection, sort of gives me confidence that this new management regime is doing things much more inclusively and collaboratively than the Tambo era. This is a perfect example of MacT's MBA training coming into play - empowering Krueger to hire his own goalie coach (relatively minor impact), and also heavily including him in the process of hiring his associate using open lines of communication so that he doesn't feel undermined.

It's just the way things are operating here seem to be a lot different. I think MacT's time away from hockey will prove to be extremely valuable in the way he conducts his business and the process that goes along with it, which can make a huge difference in the performance of any company or business.

Not an Oiler alumni

I have to think he was brought to help scout euro goalies? Guy has been overseas for the past 4 years or so.

Willis mentioned he was the goalie coach in Chicoutimi while JDD was playing there. So that's almost a connection!

Here's his twitter

Goalie coach for a German and Swiss team last season, sounds like he had a busy year.

Great. We get the much coveted Chichi Rodriguez of goalie coaches. Throw it at the wall. Maybe it sticks.

Just for his last year I believe.

It's worth mentioning he isn't going to be the goaltending coach, he is going to report to current coach Chabot.
