I often recall with a shudder how much of an idiot Eakins was. MacT actually made a lot of decent decisions but his attachment to Eakins trumped all good.
I will always remember a timeout late in a game, we were down by a goal with a just a minute or two to go and seeing him standing there looking all high and mighty but not saying a word. Meanwhile he was giving the other teams defensive players the rest they needed. Eakins was rock bottom, he was the anti coach. I honestly don't think he will ever get a head coaching job again, with his little flip over hairdo (biggest reaction ever on the bench was when he got some water splashed on it- unreal).

All hail Ikinzom! Praise his name for wasting the developmental years of our kids, entrenching the ideals of losing and apathy! We owe him our full and unpretending gratitude.
well i would like to thank him for McDavid, but Nelson gets equal thanks for turning the team around to win enough games for our lucky spot, if we kept Eakins we would be drafting Eichel or Hani/Strome/Marner

Thread title says it all. Eakins caused so much damage that he caused a complete organizational house cleaning, including the OBC. We lucked out with Draisaitl and Mcdavid but it still remains if he ruined Yakupov and Schultz.
**** Eakins , **** Mac T as a GM mostly because he could not quit Eakins . The Broken Back mountain photo shop was perfectly fitting .
I just hope the damage Eakins has done can be coached out of Schultz,Yak,Eberle,Hall,Draisaitl,RNH and his system can be purged from their brains .
I get pissed overtime i see an Eakins thread . I am glad i am living in Halifax or you guys would have seen me be dragged out of the arena .

I'm assuming he meant NHL head coaching job. The only way someone hires him now is if the plan is for the team to enter super tank mode. How many years until the next generstional talent gets drafted?

Exclusive footage of Ikinzom.... It might be difficult to recognize him as he has really let himself go. Trust me, it is him and he has done some serious soul searching....
Funny as it sounds, yes, it Eakins was MacT's easily best move: 1) it helped to get rid of MacT 2) it speeded up the re-build by landing the Oilers MacDavid and Draisaitl.

First time I've seen that Rishaug tweet. It really surprises me. I always thought the two of them were tight. I assumed Eakins was Rishaug's inside source.
