Today a new report from an Edmonton Oilers analyst has revealed the biggest potential reason that Jay Woodcroft has not been hired since being let go by the Oilers. Earlier this season the <a href='https://www.nhl.com/news/jim-montgomery-hired-as-st-louis-blues-coach-replaces-drew-bannister#:~:text=Jim%20Montgomery%20was%20hired%20as,fired%20as%20Boston%20Bruins%20coach.' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Boston Bruins fired head coach Jim Montgomery but he almost immediately found a new home this time by the St. Louis Blues.</a> While this situation was abnormal for Montgomery to be fired and immediately re-hired it shows that when teams find a good head coach on the market they will strike quickly to hire them. With this in mind, it begins the discussion over the former head coach of the Edmonton Oilers Jay Woodcroft. Of course Woodcroft was fired by the Oilers last season and replaced by Kris Knoblauch who led Edmonton to the Stanley Cup Finals later that season. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/TSN_Sports/status/1723755605406450047'> </a></blockquote></div> Today a report from NHL analyst Jason Gregor has revealed that the Oilers' success last season after the change might have doomed Woodcroft's future prospects of being a head coach. <h3>NHL analyst reveals why NHL teams refuse to hire Jay Woodcroft</h3> In a new appearance on Sports1440 analyst Jason Gregor spoke about the Oilers former head coach Jay Woodcroft.
