2019 Around the League V

[member 290103]

He literally came out of retirement for this crap, why does he even cares

Yeah, I don't know...he just seemed like a guy that was having fun. How can you be having fun losing like that team is?

Someone should hire McLellan - at least he was able to steer them into a playoff run.

welp

Benning survived how many other GMs now?

He hasn’t made a terrible move almost one year...that’s a win

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

welp

Nothing is going to change, watch Lowe himself becomes the intern GM

actually you're right LUL

depressing how i find that to be such a relief.

 

[EpochLink]

So which former Oilers great will get the interm GM tag?
Lowe, MacT, Gretzky, Messier, Coffey?

My money is on either Lowe or Coffey..

 

[Bleach Clean]

You guys aren't factoring in the probability that Chia comes here to reunite with Benning...

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Firing Chiarellie is like taking an aspirin when you have cancer

My bet is one of Gretzky or Messier for the intern GM

You’re just worrying for the sake of worry

Chiarelli may be out tonight. Expect Dim to add him as an assistant GM before the end of the all star break - perhaps he will have him take over managing pro-scouting.

There is an old Chinese saying: to deal with a moron all you need is a moroner moron.

I'm Chinese hence it must be true.

Lol
When was the last time one of these lame panicking for the sake of panic actually happen?
It’s not even creative

I hope it's not Gretzky, don't let your name be dragged in the scrap heap Wayne...
Distance yourself as far as possible...

It’s been a while since he had a job with an nhl team

I heard he was a really bad coach.

Has he ever had a GM or admin type job?

The Olympic men's team and let's not believe he had nothing to do with the construction of the Phoenix roster when he was the coach.

His record as a head coach was poor, one can say that he doesn’t know how to coach players that aren’t even close to his hockey IQ

 

[Jack Burton]

As a pro tanker and how incredibly frustrating this season has been for me...watching the Edmonton Oilers implode is extremely satisfying.

Looks like we got our new President

Keith Gretzky.

 

[Hollywood Burrows]

A bunch of oiler fans seem to think "keith gretzky" will be the interim GM. Apparently this is a real person.

It's incredible that whoever is in charge (????) in edmonton let Chia make multiple player-for-player trades and lock in a goalie on a 3-year deal over the first half of a season where he was apparently in the hot seat. Or maybe he wasn't in the hot seat when the season started? But for that to be true these guys would have had to have looked at that roster back in october and concluded it was... good?? the mind boggles.

 

[PG Canuck]

Oilers let Chiarelli sign Koskinen to a 3 year deal worth more than he's worth WITH a NTC....then fire him shortly after. Amazing this franchise still exists, to be honest. Luckily there's not much else to do in Alberta, otherwise they would be hurting for money.

 

[Bleach Clean]

You’re just worrying for the sake of worry

Really? Look at the ties. Linden also just left and there is a vacant President position. The media has also commented that it's a "thin front office". An insider here has reported that no one wants to work for the family. Yet, here is the former cup winner in Chia being made available...

IMO, you're not worrying enough.

Looks like we got our new President

I don't like you anymore PG.
