Chiarelli or Dorion

[wintersej]

I think Chia is easily the worst GM in the NHL. But I can’t say he’s the worst of all time because he won a Cup. Diminish it as much as you want but that clearly puts him above Milbury.
The job he’s done in Edmonton has just been terrible though. If we were just looking at his tenure in Edmonton then I think he’d be the worst ever. As bad as Mulbury was he never had McDavid on his team.

Bingo. Chia has been a total disaster since the day he traded Seguin. Before that he built a great team and has a ring to show for it... and could have two if not for Bergeron and Chara getting hurt and Seguin and Jagr combining for 1 goal all playoffs. The Kessel trade was lucky, but the Horton, Seidenberg and Boychuk moves were great.

Dorion at least knows how to draft.

Dorion at least knows how to draft.

Yes, that ability should come in handy with the great pick we're gonna get this year and...oh...wait...

But ya I think Dorion has more redeeming qualities in that he may be useful to an org. in a non-GM role. Chiarelli just seems out of his depth with hockey in 2018.

NGL I thought this would be closer lol

Dorion is terrible but it remains to be seen how much of his actions are his own doing as opposed to his boss's doing.

Chiarelli very likely has much more autonomy than Dorion does and is not inhibited by fiscal constraints, yet his asset management is asinine at best and dreadful at worst. The Oilers are much more of a mess now than before he started.

Dorion seems more like a puppet that justifies decisions he doesn't actually believe in. You see a lot of those individuals around Donald Trump as well.

Chiarelli has no such excuses. He's incompetent in the modern NHL despite having a generational star.

Chia makes Dorion look like Frank Selke

Lopsided result.
