EDMONTON, AB - Oilers Entertainment Group CEO & Vice Chair Bob Nicholson said there will be open transparency with fans and players alike about the direction management will take in future hiring of a new general manager and beyond in his season-end Monday media availability at Rogers Place alongside Interim GM Keith Gretzky.
"We have to give the fans a plan and we have to make sure the fans understand the plan," Nicholson said. "It starts right away, as soon as the general manager is in place. We have to make sure that we're getting that out in front of everyone. The one thing I can tell you is we're going to be a much more open organization in terms of communication in all different ways.
"We've got to clarify what that is but we want the fans to feel more part of day-to-day operations of Oilers Entertainment Group in all areas, and that includes hockey."
