NHL Shake-Up Coming? Bettman Orders Surprising Look Into Edmonton Oilers’ Trades and Awards
People in the hockey world are talking a lot, and fans of the Edmonton Oilers are in the middle of it all. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman is apparently focusing entirely on Edmonton right now. The leader of the NHL Trade Administration has also started asking for an official look into the trades the Oilers have made and how they handle awards. The argument is growing quickly.
Rumors from league executives suggest that some people are starting to wonder if the Oilers have been using “strange advantages from within” during trade times and when choosing awards after the season. No one has proven anything yet, but the fact that Bettman is looking into it has made many people in the NHL worry.
Lots of fans think this is just another part of the ongoing problems between the league officials and the Oilers, a team that often gets more attention than others. Supporters of Edmonton feel like their team is being unfairly picked on, especially after a season filled with ups and downs, changes within, and constant media coverage. Others believe that being open about things is necessary – and that no team, even one with star players, should be free from investigation.
Some insiders are saying that if anything shady is found, it could cause a big shake-up across the league. Teams that play against the Oilers are quietly hoping for fairness, while loyal Oilers fans want to understand why their team seems to be under more scrutiny than other teams.
Is Bettman trying to keep things fair in the league? Or is the NHL once again targeting Edmonton, especially when the team is trying to become great again?
No matter what the real situation is, one thing is sure: this investigation could change how trades, awards, and decisions made by the management are done throughout the NHL. And fans of the Edmonton Oilers should get ready — because this storm is just starting.
