If he can successfully unload Lucic, Sekera, and Russell before the expansion draft he'll be considered redeemed.
Chiarelli woke up this morning and successfully tied his shoes. Big things coming

That, or get some of those guys to agree to leave themselves exposed.
Chiarelli broke the microwave.And what? You think microwaving your own hot pockets makes you better?
We're praising the GM because he can't screw up the salary cap any more than he already has.
It doesn't matter a single bit if other GMs are dumb, because we're not fans of those teams. It matters what this GM does to this team. If Vancouver paid a bunch of goons too much money and for too long, then good for them. That doesn't make our salary cap situation any better.And lots of other GMs made dubious signings. Sometimes only doing small things are praiseworthy.
But in a perfect world he finds/develops/trades for bottom 6ers that will be effective for 3 or more years here, not a yearly thing
With the Strome trade the Oilers have a 3C on a reasonable deal and still on the team while an RFA when his contract expires.
Chia is putting a lot on development, but that's how teams get good. If Yamamoto or Puljujarvi can produce in a top six role this team looks good in a hurry.
I do agree that Rieder was a solid signing. Brodziak is fine as the 4C.
If nobody develops and guys like Klefa and Larsson struggle again Chia is hooped.
If players develop and some guys rebound this is a team that can do some damage in the playoffs again.

This sounds like MacT/Tambo and the 2009-2015 Oilers redux
Have you looked at our wings lately?Can’t argue that. Chia's excellent with depth

Depth is not the right word. Bottom six negotiations.
He overpaid Brodziak? Brodziak scored 33 points last season. He's a boon for our special teams. That was an outstanding signing.I dunno if that scans either considering he overpaid Cagguila, Benning and arguably Brodziak, he's overpaying an untested back up.
