08:57 AM ET 04.19 | When Pat Quinn was coaching the Leafs and forced to relinquish the job as general manager, he recommended that Steve Tambellini be hired as GM. Now that Tambellini is the GM in Edmonton, will he return the favor and recommend Quinn as the next coach of the Oilers?

He has a home in Vancouver, so it makes for a good rumour. I think Messier might be a good choice for the Oilers, especially since Edmonton likes to keep it in the family so to speak.

The Oilers certainly could do worse.

So the Toronto papers have Quinn going to Edmonton and the New York papers have Messier going to Edmonton. Hmmm

Quinn as head, Messier as assistant.

This could work. Quinn is no spring chicken, and has already had heart problems. He can really groom Messier and hand over the reins.

I like Quinn, he did a great job at the WJC.

of course you like Quinn, you`re a leaf, you value mediocrity. I will go out on a limb and assume you`re also a Cherry fan. you guys seem to like the bride`s maids uh? Always close to the action but never taking home the prize.

oh, and by the way, taking the heavy favourites (on their own turf) to gold is really not that big of an accomplishment, especially in light of the fact that he isn`t the guy that actually scored that miracle goal (a goal that needed to be scored because he chose to start the wrong goalie)....you mean he chose to put his best players on the ice at the end of the game while trailing? Wow, an incredible coach.

Quinn to Oilers = never happening.

You have a better chance of getting lucky with a bride's maid than with the bride--unless you're the groom or are making a porno flick ;)
