Former Swift Current Broncos Coach/GM Todd McLellan could be right back in the NHL.

Fresh off a mutual parting of the ways with the San Jose Sharks, Sportsnet is reporting that McLellan will be the new head coach of the Edmonton Oilers.

McLellan coached Canada to a gold medal in the recently completed World Hockey Championships.

He went 311-163-66 with the Sharks leading the team to the playoffs in six of his seven seasons.

McLellan led the Broncos to the playoffs in all six seasons he coached the WHL franchise. He was both the WHL Coach of the Year and Executive of the Year.
