Stan Bowman close to landing new NHL job after previous suspension

Stan Bowman, the former general manager of the Chicago Blackhawks, was recently cleared to rejoin an NHL front office as of July 10th. Now, it appears that he is close to making a return to the league, though in a role that might not be what many initially expected.

According to an insider report from The Mug on Instagram, Bowman is on the verge of joining the Edmonton Oilers' front office. The exact capacity in which he will be employed remains unknown at this time.

This potential move would mark Bowman's first role since his departure from the Blackhawks and subsequent reinstatement by the NHL. The news suggests that the Oilers are looking to bring in Bowman's expertise, though it's unclear what specific duties he would take on.

Interim general manager Jeff Jackson mentioned during the Oilers' search for a permanent general manager that they had not spoken with Bowman. This statement indicates that Bowman is not being considered for the GM role, but he could potentially take on a senior advisory position or a similar role within the organization.

As the situation develops, all signs currently point to Bowman joining the Oilers' front office in the near future. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how this addition might impact the team's operations and success moving forward.
