Oilers Zero In on One Coach as Search Narrows

The Oilers are moving through their coaching search with a very short list, and one name is clearly sitting at the top of the stack. In this league, when a club starts telegraphing that kind of focus, it usually means the fit has already been debated in the boardroom and the room has a pulse on what it wants. Edmonton has the kind of roster that can expose a mismatch fast, so this decision is about more than a résumé.
