Oilers missing the playoffs and chiarelli being fired could be better in the long term than Oilers making the playoffs in one season and chiarelli continuing to implode the team with shockingly dumb trades. Personally I'd take playoffs because I'm young enough to enjoy the fun, vs lwaiting longer for a better outcome. But I can see a justifiable case for the second option
You can think of it as Oilers missing the playoffs, firing chiarello and hiring the next yzerman. Vs making playoffs, getting swept and being stuck with chiarelli
I cannot justify in any way, shape or form the Oilers failing just to see Chiarelli be fired. Youve already written them off as getting swept and we will be hiring the next Yzerman. I am glad so many crystal balls are in good working order in this forum! Can you give me the lotto max numbers please?
