Mark Spector of Sportsnet: Oilers GM Peter Chiarelli said last night that he has no intentions of making a coaching change.
“I have no intentions of firing Todd (McLellan). I want to work with the coach, and I think he’s a very good coach,” Chiarelli said over the phone from Nashville. “As far as Todd goes, and (his staff), I am not considering firing them. At this point we’re going to solve it together.”
Chiarelli adds that everyone is under evaluation, including himself. They have considered bringing in another assistant coach to help out, but that is unlikely to happen.
