Always wonder how they could have hired this clown?

The Oilers fanbase became exasperated by the old boys network that failed the team for so long and Nicholson was hired to sort it out. To appease the city he needed to hire both a president and GM from outside the organization, but said candidate would also need experience as the Oilers couldn't afford to waste more years on someone learning the ropes of the role, but also someone that comes from a winning background. The NHL also seems to unofficially have a set number of people that seem to be allowed to be hired for these roles, and Chiarelli was the convenient option as he just happened to have been fired at the right time and happened to have a history with the man making the hire.
