Confirmed with Link: [EDM/CHI] Caggiula + Garrison for Manning + Norell

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

I’m convinced Chiarelli is secretly a double agent for the other NHL teams.

 

[Dakinjor]

Im telling you Mcdavid+Lucic for Seguin and Benn+1st is Happening.

 

[nhlisajoke]

What do we do with 10 Dmen now

 

[McJadeddog]

how come Katz and Nicholson are still allowing these kinds of trades? how are they ok with this?

this is insanity

It really is insanity. I am at a complete loss of words really. How is this allowed to happen?

 

[rec28]

 

[Todd Parchment]

Do we boo manning? Yes

 

[dem]

We are no good and have an even worse cap problem. Awesome.


Why didn’t we just keep Eric Gryba again?

 

[Del Preston]

What? Iam saying as assistant GM Gretzky would have had a say in this.

Not necessarily true. Chiarelli as POHO and GM can do what he wants, unless Katz, Nicholson, or maybe Wayne say no.

 

[Joey Moss]

The depth chart going forward..

Klefbom - Larsson
Sekera - Nurse
Russell - Benning
Gravel - Petrovic
Manning

What the f*** is this

McDavid for William Nylander, you mean.

 

[MettleMcOiler]

I thought the whole point of making a team is build chemistry. Why do you trade for the very person that broke McDavid collerbone and admitted that it was intentional. There will be animosity there and unless McDavid and the team have a Jesus like soul of forgiving and moving on, Chiarelli has probably made the dumbest move I've seen in all my years adding Manning on the same team as McDavid.

It is like he knows hes going to be fired and purposely making McDavid hate his team that he would want a trade. I've tolerated much of these small trades, but this...nah...done...he is done. Get him out.

 

[sepHF]

but why

 

[Drivesaitl]

Is Chia trying to create heat in the dressing room dynamic? Make it become a less comfortable place? Make it have much more of an edge? Some weird stuff going down. I mean I totally forgot about the Manning thing. That was years ago. Did Chia forget?

meh, Players deal with this all the time. Lucic and Kassian were two of the most hated players in the league when we got them. players adjust, they always do. Apparently we're going to be running heads into the boards now. Charleston Chiefs, toughest club in the Federal Pacific division..

What the **** is this

Jones is better than Benning, Gravel and Petrovic too

 

[Ragdoll]

This has to be Chia’s last day on the job and this is just his big f*** you to the org and Mcdavid. I can’t find any other reason as to why he would trade for Manning. Guy is a god damn plug and he had a bad history with Connor.

 

[FunkyChicken]

He's a plant by the league as punishment for winning the McDavid sweepstakes.

 

[The Nuge]

I can kinda convince myself to be neutral on the Petrovic deal, but this deal makes zero sense and is downright disturbing in a non-sequitur kind of way. Chia has actually lost his ****ing mind.

This is where I’m at. Wideman/Petrovic at least makes us better. Caggiula/Manning makes us worse

We won't score another goal but who cares when you can punch?

 

[McDrai]

I never thought this team would have a worse roster in Jan than we did when the year started but here we are.

I'm done. Unless this was all done to land an incredible forward... I'm done.

I've watched my last Oilers game till he is fired.

I haven't watched an Oilers game for a good 2 weeks now (personal best). I just look at the boxscore at the end of the night. Oh the Oilers lost? Nothing to see here

 

[5 14 6 1]

Manning is f***ing horrible. Run this clown out of town right now

 

[McDNicks17]

I literally laughed out loud when I saw this thread title.

Dear lord.

 

[oobga]

There is no way he is allowed to make moves now without OBC approval, is he? Guy must be on notice already.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

What do we do with 10 Dmen now

Dress 8 of em and stuff 4 of em in the net for 30 mins at a time while McDavid plays all 60.

 

[Todd from Leduc]

Special Peter made our team worse, frigged our dressing room, pissed off McDavid and added cap $ all in one fell swoop.

Caggs would have been a great adder piece to a trade that could actually improve this team not to mention he was one of the few guys we have who has any potential at adding some offence.

 

[Heavy Dee]

Probably true but KG was either complicit or wasn't able to change his mind. Fail either way.
