General manager Steve Tambellini said he was impressed by Krueger's work on the Oilers' power play last season -- taking it from 27th to third in the league -- and Krueger's transformation of the Swiss hockey program. Under Krueger, the Swiss rose from 15th to seventh in the world rankings and posted a 2-0 win over Team Canada at the 2006 Turin Games.
"For hockey that was an incredible moment, but I know why that happened," said Tambellini. "When you speak to the people that work with Ralph, when you speak to the players who have played with him, they talk about leadership, they talk about clarity, they talk about motivation."
