The Edmonton Oilers have shaken up their front office a bit on Monday, naming a former Oilers head coach to their front office. General manager Steve Tambellini announced on Monday that Craig MacTavish will join the Oilers as the team's Senior Vice President of Hockey Operations.
MacTavish recently coached the Chicago Wolves in the American Hockey League, a Vancouver Canucks affiliate team, and lead the Wolves to the third best record in the conference.
