of the Stanley Cup Final, the Oilers confirmed the long-standing belief that they would not renew the Hall of Fame executive's contract, which was in the final month.
"Over the past five seasons as general manager, Ken has not only built the Edmonton Oilers into one of the NHL's best teams, but he has also established a deeply rooted foundation of success and a culture of winning that will continue well into the future," Jackson said in a statement Thursday."Thanks in large part for Ken's outstanding work, Edmonton has become a destination city for players around the National Hockey League.
