I listened to media availability on oilersplus.com. I'll include my notes of stuff I thought was interesting. OEG will usually post the video up later on their youtube channel.
- He said that Paul Coffee helped talk him into it.
- A lot of the earlier questions were about "how do we keep Connor" and he answered in a general way, but shared a good personal story about Connor.
- He said would not have accepted a CEO job anywhere else, only for the Oilers.
- He mentioned that they're getting pretty close to signing Bouch.
- Holland was asked about Nicholson, where Kenny pointed to Tim who spoke off mic, all I could make out was that he would be shifted to "Special Advisor".
All CEOs kind of sound the same, but I already like this guy way more than Bob Nicholson.
