Oilers organization comments on Paul Coffey's possible return

The Edmonton Oilers have made headlines by bringing franchise legend Paul Coffey onto their coaching staff, a move that has proved highly successful. President Jeff Jackson recently expressed his desire for Coffey to continue his role during an appearance on the Bob McCowan Podcast.

Although Coffey's return isn't confirmed, Jackson remains hopeful.

Oilers' President hopeful for Paul Coffey's return

Coffey, who initially entered the position reluctantly, had been enjoying his retirement after a 24-year break from professional coaching, save for a brief stint with the Pickering Panthers in junior hockey. His wealth of experience and strategic hockey mind has significantly benefited the Oilers, particularly in the development of Evan Bouchard, who has emerged as an offensive force reminiscent of Coffey himself. Even Head Coach Knoblauch is eager for Coffey to return.

In addition to Coffey's potential return, Jackson mentioned plans to appoint a new General Manager within the next ten days, which might also shed light on Coffey's future with the team. Despite rumors of Coffey possibly returning to retirement, there is hope that he will stay on to complete the impactful work he started.

With new offensive additions and a full season under Knoblauch's guidance, the Oilers are well-positioned to dominate the NHL next season and contend for the Stanley Cup. Even if Coffey doesn't return, the team has gained invaluable insights and motivation from his tenure.
