Controversial candidate emerges as the frontrunner to be Edmonton Oilers GM
The Edmonton Oilers are still operating without a GM, and now they are on the verge of hiring the controversial Stan Bowman.
After years of Ken Holland holding the Edmonton Oilers back as General Manager, his contract was up after their Stanley Cup Finals loss, with the team still looking to find a full-time person for the role. Jeff Jackson has been making the decisions this summer, but has been adamant that he doesn't want it full-time, and now they've reportedly been linked to the controversial Stan Bowman.
Hearing he could join as a senior advisor to the GM, but Jeff Jackson seemed adamant that he had not spoken to Bowman at all during the hiring process.

Bowman was involved in the Kyle Beach incident as the General Manager of the Chicago Blackhawks, with the NHL banning him from the league, but now that ban has been lifted, allowing him to return. This wouldn't be a popular move within Edmonton given Bowman's history, but with the league approving his return, don't be surprised to see him become the next GM as the Oilers look to take the final step towards a Stanley Cup.
