'Every day I was there was good. Except for the last day, just because of the way things shook down. I’ll just leave it at that,' said LAKings coach Todd McLellan of his time in Edmonton. SportsnetSpec caught up with the ex-EdmontonOilers coach ⤵️

It looked like Todd McLellan had pulled the sword from the stone back in the spring of 2017, when his Edmonton Oilers played their first two playoff series since the 2006 Cup run and seemed poised for annual success as he coached out his five-year contract in Edmonton.Cam Talbot ceased to be a No.

If McLellan taught Oilers fans one thing, it is that no matter how good the head coach is, he still needs the right mix of players and a functional organization around him to win. And if McLellan learned one thing in Edmonton, it is that… We built the team up, and then it crumbled back down a little bit. We all need to take responsibility. And when I say “all,” I mean all — not just the coach or the general manager. I’ve accepted my role in it, and I’ve moved on. I’m happy here in L.A.Well, our best years were post-Taylor trade … Look, any time you take that type of talent and you separate it from a team, you’re going to miss that. Now, with Adam Larsson out, they’re going to miss that — he’s an important part of that team.
