Big update on the Oilers coaching situation!

Edmonton Oilers head writer Chris Wescott has reported a big change in the Oilers coachign situation. Wescott made the announcement via twitter, and according to him Oilers General Manager Craig MacTavish will be heading back upstairs and leaving the coaching duties entirely to Todd Nelson. MacTavish reportly said that it's time for Nelson to "put his mark" on the team. The Oilers fired their previous Head Coach Dallas Eakins earlier this season and have seen little to no turn around since making the move. Many feel the real problem lies with Oilers upper management, and MacTavish could simply be looking to move out of the spotlight.
