The Edmonton Oilers are undergoing significant changes in their front office as Jeff Jackson takes on the role of President of Hockey Operations, aiming to lead the team towards victory and innovation.
Steve Staios, previously part of the Oilers' fold, has reportedly parted ways with the organization. This realignment raises questions about Duncan Keith, who joined as a Player Personnel Consultant last October but is not listed on the Oilers' Hockey Operations staff page.
Amidst these alterations, it arrises as Duncan Keith might be stepping into a player development role, a decision now under Jackson's purview. While Keith's official status remains in development, his potential promotion reflects the Oilers' dynamic transition under new leadership.
The Oilers face a void in their Player Development department due to Staios's departure, prompting speculation about internal promotions or external appointments. Jackson's decision could significantly impact the Oilers' player development trajectory.
