“This is going to be a huge hire for the Oilers. I’d like to have that person in place tomorrow, but this time I’m going to make sure I turn over every rock and talk to a lot of people. I need to make sure that when we name that person, it’s the right person for the organization long-term. That’s the No. 1 goal.”
“Everyone is asking: ‘When?’ This time I want to do a lot of research about what we are and what all of our options will be. This time I want to be completely sure about what the characteristics of a general manager that we need to have going forward so I can stand up in front of the Oilers fans and tell them: ‘This is the person’ and why that person is the best person moving forward.”
-Bob Nicholson, Oilers Entertainment Group Vice-Chairman and CEO. Terry Jones of the Edmonton Sun has much more from Nicholson.
