Kelly McCrimmon is reportedly no longer in the mix to become the Edmonton Oilers' new general manager and will remain with the Vegas Golden Knights, according to TSN's Bob McKenzie.

The Oilers reportedly requested permission to interview McCrimmon in April once the Golden Knights completed their end-of-season procedures.

McCrimmon was hired by Vegas in 2016 as assistant general manager and has been with the club since.

Mark Hunter, Sean Burke, and Keith Gretzky are apparently the remaining candidates for the Edmonton position, reports TSN's Darren Dreger. Gretzky has acted as interim general manager since the Oilers fired Peter Chiarelli in January.
