Mike Babcock will potentially get an opportunity to coach again.
The former Detroit Red Wings, Toronto Maple Leafs and, briefly, Columbus Blue Jackets coach has been cleared by the NHL to coach the Edmonton Oilers after a league investigation, the NHL said in a statement on Thursday.
“The League has completed its review of Mike Babcock’s tenure in Columbus, and of certain alleged conduct associated therewith,” a statement from the NHL read. “Our investigation has concluded that, even in a light least favourable to Mr. Babcock, there is no current basis to restrict his employment in the League.”
