Getting Ramsay could be one of the best moves MacTavish made in the off-season. Still find it a bit hard to believe that EDM went ahead with Eakins as head coach without insulating him with more veteran coaching assistance. I get why they brought Acton along, but it seemed inadvisable to have Eakins in the head coaching role without a former head coach to help with the transition.
I think Eakins should still be given some time, but his leash should be VERY short. If he can't get the Oilers going consistently, MacTavish should hand the reins over to Ramsay.
