Being just under .500 with that roster is not bad at all. That’s by far the best they had played in any of the 2 seasons before and after. Had they played a full season virtually all the rest of the games would have been against the east whom we played better against in that era. Like I said being just under .500 with that roster only playing the west is pretty solid. They had no Mcdavid, no Draisaitl and even worse defence than the team currently and were comparable.None of what you just said changes the fact that it was a garbage team that finished bottom 10 in the league and was nowhere close to making the playoffs. Give Krueger a full 82 game season and the Oilers would have finished even lower.
Pretty sure he makes more money than any NHL coach. EPL >>>>> NHL and it’s not close in terms of global popularity.He’s ‘open to a return’? Haha, no kidding, what guy who’s been fired and banished to an inferior league wouldn’t be open to a return? No thanks, no retreads wanted here. Look no further than Rieder and Brodziak.
If we can’t do better than some soccer chairman then we are in trouble. Why not go after Cito Gaston or Vince McMahon? I hear baseball and wrestling are pretty popular tooPretty sure he makes more money than any NHL coach. EPL >>>>> NHL and it’s not close in terms of global popularity.

So what if I did? He’s been overseas for most of his coaching career and is now involved in soccer. Let’s bring him in to fix the mess here, what a stupid ideaWhy not just admit you had no idea he was involved with a EPL team & thought he was coaching a hockey team somewhere in Europe?
Nobody with any brains would refer to the EPL as an inferior league to the NHL.

It’s funny that immediately after Schultz signed both he and the organization were crediting Krueger with being the most responsible for it. Of course, after Krueger was fired and they needed support for Mactavish being GM, that narrative was changed to Mactavish being most responsible for Schultz decision to sign here. Like everything else Oilers related, with this regime, facts seem to change as time passes so it’s hard to know what to believe.Again that's not Kruger promising Schultz anything in the previous off season. He was helping a player reach those goals which were agreed upon between Schultz, Kevin Lowe, Craig Mactavish and Steve Tambellini.
I'll ask one more time. Do you have anything to back up your twice made claim that Ralph Kruger was the one who promised Schultz top pairing minutes in the summer before he signed?
Shallow end's the other side, bud.So what if I did? He’s been overseas for most of his coaching career and is now involved in soccer. Let’s bring him in to fix the mess here, what a stupid idea
Krueger is that you? Stick to soccerShallow end's the other side, bud.
He didn't but okay.Yeah, he guaranteed him top pairing minutes so he could get all his bonuses.
