So within a mere 2 years or so, Peter Chiarelli has managed to permanently cripple the Oilers with "amazing" moves such as:
-Matt Barzal+33 overall for Griffin Reinhart
-Jordan Eberle for Ryan Strome
-Taylor Hall for Adam Larsson
-Justin Schultz for 3rd round pick
-Milan Lucic for 6 million 7 years NMC
-Kris Russell for 4 million 4 years NMC (seriously wtf?)
-Leon Draisaitl to 8.5 million when every other team got their young ppg player coming off an ELC for 6-7 million
-trading for Eric Gryba, then playing him on an NHL roster, then resigning him for 2 years (again wtf?)
-signing Jussi Jokinen, then trading him for the equally worthless Mike Cammalleri
-choosing Jonas Monster and Laurent Brossoit as backup goalies in consecutive seasons
-failing to resign Tyler Pitlick
-failing to resign Jordan Oesterle
The team has a generational talent on it and had been afforded multiple top 5 picks in the past decade, yet is looking at a potential bottom 5 finish, including a historically bad PK and an NHL worst scoring output from wingers, bottom feeding defense and power play, has one of the worst salary cap outlooks in the NHL, and one of the worst prospect pools in the NHL, with recent 1st round pick Kailer Yamamoto trending towards bust status and wasting draft capital everywhere, including the 2nd round pick the Oilers had to give up to get Chiarelli in the first place.
The sheer incompetence of this one GM during his stint with the Oilers has me asking "what other GMs have managed to screw their teams over as hard as this guy?" Obviously you have your standard Mike Milbury answer, but what are some other GMs that have had a similar detrimental effect to their franchise as Peter Chiarelli has done to the Oilers?
