I’m a little surprised Lou did not hire Oates to replace Lane. - ses111
He did some coaching for the Devils, so Lou knows his work. Maybe he's better at coaching players' skills than coaching on ice strategy and dealing with the media? That's just me guessing, I don't really know.

This could be John. I do think Oates deserves another shot somewhere.

He seemingly has a nice business doing the skill stuff for NHL'ers. He may not have an interest in having a boss and the media to answer to on a daily basis. I'm sure he's doing well with the training.

Yup, that makes sense. It's got to be a lot less stressful just teaching the skill stuff.
