The NHLPA wants an NHL inquiry into coach Mike Babcock's 2023 Columbus Blue Jackets stint before the Oilers hire him, citing concerns over his conduct. Babcock's two‑month tenure in Columbus ended abruptly after a series of on‑ice incidents and locker‑room disputes.
The players’ union says a thorough review is needed to ensure league standards are upheld. Edmonton’s management indicated they will await the investigation’s outcome before making any contractual decisions.
The move adds uncertainty to the coaching market as teams weigh the ramifications of the probe.
