The Edmonton Oilers are down to about three candidates in their GM search, Elliotte Friedman told Bob Stauffer on Oilers Now today. “I think you’re in your second phase right now, and I think the Oilers are down to probably three people, and I think they interviewed a lot of people, but I think they’re down to about three, and I think Hunter is one, and I think McCrimmon is one, and I’m not 100 per cent sure the other. I always leave the wild card is: What does Ken Holland want to do…I’ve been on Ken Holland at the beginning as someone who would be very much be on the Oiler radar if he was interested. I don’t have the answer to that at this point in time. But I do believe that if he’s interested he is very much a factor.”

Friedman said the Oilers could well announce a hiring after the World Junior 18 tournament ends on April 28.
