McDavid, Draisaitl believe Babcock is ‘perfect fit’ as Oilers coach
Mike Babcock was hired as the Edmonton Oilers' new coach after the NHL cleared him to return to coaching following an investigation into his brief tenure with the Columbus Blue Jackets. Star players Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl expressed confidence in Babcock, calling him "the perfect fit" based on his extensive coaching experience and success in major competitions. The 63-year-old had been hired by Columbus in July 2023 but resigned before the season began after a controversy involving player privacy.
